FORTUITY (8) broke through for a deserved maiden success over 1408m at Fairyhouse last time. This contest looks winnable. ZENFORD (3) went down by the narrowest of margins when runner-up at Curragh last start. That form reads well and looks a major player. WATCH TOWER (5) returns from a six-and-a-half-month break after concluding his previous campaign with a placing at Dundalk. Showed he can perform well fresh. Strong claims. HALON BAY (1) opened his account with a narrow victory at Leopardstown last time. Tougher assignment. Remains lightly raced with scope for further improvement and should be competitive again.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 40-day let-up. Last start won by a neck at Leopardstown May 10 over 1408m defeating Valentino Eclipse carrying 61kg at $11. Before that 4th of 11 at Bellewstown on April 11 over 1609m, slow going 13 len behind New Radical carrying 61kg at $41. Plenty of scope for further improvement.
