FormscanBy John O'Riordan - John Gleeson looks to have strong claims of landing this prize on ZIPSTER. Mid-division in a big field at the Curragh on his reappearance, the Gerard O'Leary-trained five-year-old took a significant step forward when third at Gowran Park. A winner off this mark at Killarney last summer, the son of Zoustar looks well handicapped at present. Star Mind, representing the same connections, could well prove the biggest danger. Successful at Naas off 5lb higher last season, she has shaped with promise at Dundalk in recent starts and it would be no surprise to see her improve further. Teffian Warrior needs to find more but is very lightly raced and has the services of Alan O'Sullivan.
An extended handicap for four years old and upwards which have run at least three times under the Rules of Racing (70 = 11st 5lbs)Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
