Lots with chances but ZIPSTER has started life well for his new yard and can build on the promise of his Leopardstown fifth last time out to resume winning ways. Moyassr heads the list of dangers on the back of his good recent fourth at the same track, while Port Louis, Rock Etoile, Ja'Marr and Hurricane Helen all need factoring in too.
