Formscan By Alan Magee - CARDINAL ZIN filled the runner-up spot twice on testing ground last season including behind the impressive Look At The Stars at Listowel. The Willie McCreery-trained gelding now makes his handicap debut and gets the vote over Emerald Eclipse who was well-backed when placed on both starts at Dundalk earlier this year. Basilah Bear won a nursery at Naas over this trip and also performed with credit on heavy ground. Blue Soul has been mainly campaigned at Dundalk and comes here off a decent second to Galician Girl last month, while Ringside Timing was placed on his reappearance at Cork and is also entered here on Tuesday.
