Dundalk

Some hardy perennials amongst the leading contenders, including Thompson Gunner, Storm Eric, Doctor Grace and Jazz Forever, but the unexposed ZITKALA SA wasn't far behind some other solid yardsticks over 1m4f here a fortnight ago and gave the impression that this trip might be a better fit. Aiteall showed that his mark is about right when second at Down Royal and, prior to that, had a wide trip when disappointing on his first visit here. [Mark Nunan]
