Decent debut, when second of 11, 5L behind Butterscotch at Naas last month, before disappointing in following two starts at Roscommon and Killarney. Improvement not out of the question in this company.

Forecasts

Harbour Approach (11/10), Tonkin (9/4), Bronagh's Belle (4/1), Dawn Hoofer (9/1), Taylor Velvet (33/1)

Experience will possibly be the key to this contest with Taylor Velvet setting most of the early speed probably setting the finale up for the likes of Harbour Approach on debut, the Jim Bolger-trained Dawn Hoofer and the selection TONKIN, who can improve on his Killarney debut run last month.
