Some improvement shown on second start over 1m2f at Roscommon (soft) 15 days ago. Up in trip now and going to require another step forward to have a say in the finish.
Fastnet Rock colt is a brother to two useful winners and represents trainer that took this prize 12 months ago. Wears cheekpieces/tongue tie on debut.
Galileo colt finished last of 12 in a 7f maiden on the AW at Dundalk in October on sole previous start. Up significantly in distance and no shocks if he leaves that form behind for top yard.
Has shown some promise in three maiden outings, though a bit of a worry that he performed poorly when stepped up beyond the mile at Roscommon last month. Cheekpieces on for the first time now and may do better.
Fastnet Rock filly should have the stamina for this test, represents the champion jumps trainer on debut. Yard are always respected when coming with a Flat contender and booking of red-hot Billy Lee is another plus.
Finished last of nine on debut at Leopardstown in a 1m2f fillies' maiden (soft) in April and likely to be playing a minor role again here unless first-time blinkers work the oracle.

Forecasts
Time Dee (2/1), She's So Flawless (2/1), Neptune (5/2), Kozy (3/1), Squire's Tale (4/1), Scanlon (8/1), Stay With Me (10/1), A Place Apart (14/1)
Neptune, brother to Classic winner Nightime, is worth noting on debut for the Weld team while similar sentiments apply to Kozy for John Oxx. Any significant moves for either would be noted. Both will feat another newcomer however in the shape of SHE'S SO FLAWLESS from the yard of the champion jumps trainer. He's done well on the Flat lately and has booked a jockey riding with supreme confidence for this task. In a race where the newcomers may dominate, Scanlon represents last year's winning trainer and of those that have run Squire's Tale and Time Dee may be capable of improvement.
