FormscanBy Tom Weekes - CASK MATE is a lightly-raced eight year old who has shown glimpses of good ability. He returned from a 1,020 days absence last October, finishing second at Grade 1 level in November and while he disappointed badly at the Dublin Racing Festival, returned from a layoff in fine style at Bellewstown. He is, oddly, still a little unexposed, comes here race-fit and notably receives 5lbs from Zanahiyr. Zanahiyr was a high class novice last term and while a beaten favourite in the Triumph Hurdle, wasn't beaten far. He was second in another Punchestown Grade 1 subsequently and while winner Jeff Kidder let the form down on the flat recently, Zanahiyr is open to more improvement and today's race has been his target for some time. Bonarc gained black-type when a fortunate second at Tipperary in October and should add more, being better than Justice Ears and Monoxide.
