FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Former Grade 1 winning hurdler ZENTA can strike on just her second start over fences. The Willie Mullins-trained five-year-old shaped with plenty of promise when third in a Grade 2 Novice Chase in Cork before Christmas. The ex-French trained filly will find this assignment much easier, while the better ground should also be in her favour. Magnor Glory, a winner here over hurdles, looks one of the chief dangers. The Terence O'Brien-trained gelding had some smart form over flights last season, including when runner-up in a Listed race at Killarney. Provided he takes to the larger obstacles, the eight-year-old can get competitive. Charlie Luciano, who made all when winning here last August, has also proven his ability to handle this track.
