FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Recent Killarney runner-up ZOLPHARINE can go one place better here. A maiden hurdle winner at this track earlier in his career, the John Patrick Ryan-trained gelding ran his best race to date over fences when narrowly denied at the County Kerry venue last time. Given that the winner of that particular race was completing a hat-trick, the form looks relatively strong. With Harry Sexton once more claiming a valuable 7lb, this looks a nice chance. With just the three starts over fences, Movie King is almost certainly well handicapped. Despite being an infrequent winner, the eight-year-old has to be respected. Granted a clear round, Aliunde should also be involved at the finish.
