FormscanBy Gary Carson - Henry de Bromhead saddles three in this with Rachael Blackmore taking the mount on ZARKAREVA. The Authorized mare was last seen chasing home one of today's rivals Espion Du Chenet at Punchestown in late May and is now 4lb better off with that rival, who won from a few pounds out of the handicap that day. That was her first run since last Christmas and she looks capable of landing a nice prize like this on decent ground. Stablemate Cornerkova has won her last two over fences and looks an obvious danger. She was left well clear when winning in Tipperary last time and this will be a more competitive event now. Russian Diamond ran well for a long way when seventh in the Blazers here on Friday night and could be an each-way bet if turning out again.
