Verdict
ZARAAHMANDO got off the mark in ready fashion at Limerick 4 weeks ago and is the percentage call to follow up from an 8 lb higher mark. I'm Spartacus is entitled to strip fitter for a considerate return at Leopardstown the previous month and needs considering, along with Port Louis, who shaped as if back in form in first-time cheekpieces at the Curragh recently.
