ALMAZANN (4) returns after three-and-a-half months having finished third tackling 1m4f at Leopardstown before the lay-off. That effort suggests a breakthrough is near and he sets the standard. SUNNY SOUTH WEST (3) made the frame on three consecutive outings including when runner-up attempting the same journey at Galway after racing prominently. Main danger. MAGNUM COR (6) shaped with promise when fourth contesting 1m1f at Leopardstown on debut and should improve sharply for that experience. Holds some appeal. PURPLE BANDIT (9) makes his first appearance. By Toronado out of black-type producer Signe with pedigree giving him immediate interest. Not discounted.
