Zannda can strike for Ireland in the Plate

Zanndabad can strike a blow for Ireland in the JenningsBet Northumberland Plate at Newcastle.

It seems an oddity the Plate so rarely goes to an Trish-trained winner.

Not since 2008 has the ‘Pitmen’s Derby’ been won by the Irish and that was with Tony Martin's Arc Bleu.

So who better than to side with than Martin to do it again? Zanndabad has always been the type to be fancied in this sort of race, but in fact has not won since moving to Ireland from France in December 2022.
