Verdict
ZAGMAN led to halfway when favourite at Down Royal last time but couldn't find any extra in the final half-mile and faded to finish fifth. That was a little disappointing after an excellent reappearance at Kilbeggan but Paul Nolan's charge must be worth another chance in this company. Carbon Credit was second over this trip at Wexford last month and should go well again but Witness Belle has had plenty of chances and Bingo Lady ran no sort of race at Gowran on her latest outing, though is a winner over 3m between the flags. Milderina, another convert from the point-to-point field, could be best of the rest ahead of the disappointing Royal Reveille.
