Going: Soft
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneRace Tip
Henry de Bromhead saddles three in this with Rachael Blackmore taking the mount on ZARKAREVA. The Authorized mare was last seen chasing home one of today's rivals Espion Du Chenet at Punchestown in late May and is now 4lb better off with that rival, who won from a few pounds out of the handicap that day. That was her first run since last Christmas and she looks capable of landing a nice prize like this on decent ground. Stablemate Cornerkova has won her last two over fences and looks an obvious danger. She was left well clear when winning in Tipperary last time and this will be a more competitive event now. Russian Diamond was due to have his first chase outing here on Friday since finishing mid-division in the Paddy Power last Christmas. He warmed up for this with a spin over hurdles at Ballinrobe in late May and could be an each-way bet now.
