FormscanBy Gary Carson - ZAIDI can strike here after a fine run to finish second on his hurdling debut at Fairyhouse over Easter. The Born To Sea gelding was an impressive bumper winner at Thurles last month and went off favourite to open his account over timber first time up. He had to settle for second behind Canal End that day but a similar effort should be enough to get his head in front again now. Fameaftertheglory is becoming a frustrating sort and has had plenty of chances. He chased home Feu Du Bresil at Clonmel recently and is sure to be thereabouts again. Ostend was no match for easy winner Parmenion at Leopardstown early last month but it was still a promising effort, against a horse who was subsequently Grade 2 placed, and he could get involved for the minor honours again here.
