Race preview

ZOFFMAN is a useful Flat handicapper with a rating of 91 and has taken well to hurdles winning a 19-runner Naas maiden in good style. The Noel Meade-trained gelding has scope for further improvement and should be happy on this surface. Runcok won a maiden here on heavy ground before taking on Grade 2 company last time, while Naturally Nimble is another interesting contender taking a drop in class. Khrisma, a smart bumper performer in France, performed well on her hurdling debut at Windsor and is another to note.
