Verdict

This is wide open. ZENFORD had looked on the up until his progress stalled when fourth at Leopardstown in July but he remains handily weighed and is taken to return from a break in style here. Back Down Under is feared most on the back of a very good Fairyhouse second, while City House, Storm Ready and Flash Of Fire all need factoring in too.
