Laakhof couldn't go the pace over the minimum at Navan though today's conditions should help.

Compensation awaits though Zaghraf was an eye-catcher in the race and should get much closer though was engaged in the 4.05 at Bellewstown yesterday. Messa Concertata was only beaten just over a length here on soft ground in August.
