Had too much to do at a sharp track after blowing the start, but returned to form when back up in trip and beaten a length off 60 over 2m at Tramore last time; usually held up; an inconsistent dual-purpose veteran, suited by staying trips on the flat, on a workable mark.

He has won four times from 1m 4f to 2m on ground varying from good to soft - heavy, but last win was over three years ago; has also won a hurdle. Beaten 1l by Ballycommon Chapel when second of 9 at 22-1 on his latest outing at Tramore over 2m (good - yielding).

At The Races Verdict

In what is a very competitive race, ZANAHIYR gains marginal preference over Light Up The Dark. With Josh Williamson taking 7lb off, this talented chaser is taken to double his tally on the Flat. The aforementioned Light Up The Dark is a dual bumper winner and took her form to a new level when third in a Galway handicap last time. The consistent Messerschmitt is also noted.

Expert View Verdict

Listed bumper winner LIGHT UP THE DARK failed to add to her maiden win on the flat on her handicap debut but did see out the 2m trip well and is fancied to progress again here. She has plenty of mileage in her mark and can get the better of Messerschmitt who has proven progressive over hurdles recently. She looks well treated back on the flat and can fight for a place with classy jumper Zanahiyr who is unexposed in this discipline for this yard.
