Multiple Group 1 placegetter ZARAK THE BRAVE (2) returns from a lay-off of two-and-a-half years and it is noteworthy that he has scored at his past two when resuming appearances, last prep over 1m7 1/2f at Naas. Comes to hand quickly so a bold showing is expected. HIDDEN PATH (8) resumes. After filling a minor placing at his only appearance last prep at camden (turf) over 2m1f on march 30. Should camp just off the leaders. Will play a major role. WALK THE WARRIOR (6) showed good early speed over 2m2f at Colonial Downs (Turf) last time and went on to salute by 1.3 lengths. Will be in this for a long way. HOLD HARD (1) is a promising galloper who won at his only run last prep three-and-a-half months ago over 2mf at Old Dominion Hounds (Turf). Has scored when resuming from a lay-off before. This looks a nice way to kick off the prep.
