Verdict
None of those with experience have shown much though ZAYRIYAN will improve for a fair debut at Naas, where he shaped with promise. He may be good enough though Flat To The Max is from the first crop of the high-class miler Maxios and is one to note. Valdus is out of a 7f winner and bred for this sort of trip while Rathbride Prince is a half-brother to four winners, though mainly over further.
