FormscanBy Michael Graham - THE PUBLICAN'S SON actually made his debut for Joseph O'Brien in Group 3 company in the Curragh last summer where he ran more than creditably in second. A keeping-on fifth in the same grade at Leopardstown just under a fortnight ago ought to have left him spot on for this median auction race. Ghaiyyath colt Zia Zabel should make up into a three-year-old as he ran two solid races in juvenile maidens at the Curragh and Leopardstown. O'Brien also runs Dial Me In who got off the mark on racecourse debut in Leopardstown before finishing fourth when favourite at Killarney in July last year. He is more than capable of returning with a bang.
