FormscanBy Donal Murphy - A dual winner in the UK when in the care of Simon Crisford and bought by current connections for 50,000 pounds, ZIPSTER gets the nod in this competitive affair. Slow into stride at Leopardstown in March, he had no luck in running thereafter and eventually finished a never nearer fifth. Nicola Burns now takes over in the saddle on this Ger O'Leary-trained four-year-old, and it'll be disappointing if he's not involved towards the business end. An eye-catching third when last seen, El Bello is the second choice, but would be a doubtful starter if taking up his engagement at the Curragh on Monday. A six-time winner from 19 starts in the UK, Lough Leane is of definite interest on his debut for rookie trainer Maurice Ahern, while others for the shortlist are Moyassr, Comfort Line and recent Navan victor Hurricane Helen.
