Nickajack Cave made a winning debut over today’s trip at Cork last month and is preferred to the returning Zorro Cass, who scored in France last summer and debuts for Aidan Fogarty. Maiden winner Jupiter Road finished runner-up in a handicap at Naas last time without threatening the winner and is upped in trip along with GEORGEVILLE. Dermot Weld’s colt opened his account with a cosy success in maiden company at Cork last month and he gets the vote with plenty more to come from the Derby entry. The remainder look up against it on what little they have shown so far.
