Progressive Ezima can complete hat-trick

Jim Bolger's filly, who didn't look the most reliable in the first half of the campaign, has shown tremendous improvement of late.

The daughter of Sadler's Wells slammed Attercliffe by four lengths at the Curragh last month and showed that was no fluke at Leopardstown 11 days ago.

If anything, Ezima was even more impressive, shooting clear in the straight to beat Lord Admiral by four and a half lengths.

The form got a big boost when Lord Admiral won a Listed event in smooth style at Leopardstown on Sunday.

Dahindar, given a first class draw in three, is the nap choice in the opening Ulster Bank Capital Maiden.

The son of Invincible Spirit was collared late and beaten a neck by the useful Jupiter Pluvius over six furlongs at the Curragh last time.

Jupiter Pluvius went on to land a Group 3 at Leopardstown and dropping down a furlong now will hardly work aginst Dahindar.

He is trained by John Oxx, who can also supply the solution to the Ulster Bank Invoice Finance EBF Maiden with Thoroughly Red.

He came in for some inspired market support at Cork last time, beaten half a length into second by shorter-priced stable companion Red Eye Express, and is set to go one better.
