Verdict

FIGHT ZONE's opening mark looks a fair one judged on his consistent level of form in maidens so gets the vote over fellow last-time-out winner Kaluz, who produced a much-improved display when making the switch to nursery company at Tipperary. The form of In The Attic's nursery-debut fourth at Down Royal has worked out well so is another to consider.
