Maiden winner at Roscommon last summer (7f, good to yielding) before fair third (3L) behind The Pentagon in Group 3 at Leopardstown on final run of the season. Last of four when possibly needing the run in the Group 3 Ballysax last month.
Dream Ahead colt has in-form champion jockey on board and the Lyons string are off to a fine start this term with the gelding winning on debut staying on strongly to land a Leopardstown maiden last month. Likely to be a warm order here.
Big Bad Bob gelding out of a Nayef mare related to a solid line of progeny from the sire including Big Bang Bong, top handicapper at Sha Tin and the Ger Lyons-trained Brendan Bracken. Worth a market check on debut.
30,000gns foal by Bated Breath out of a Cape Cross mare who kept on inside the final furlong when fifth of nine on debut at Navan last month. Improvement expected here.

Bought for €260,000 at Septembers Goffs sale Burgandy Boy will need to start repaying the faith placed in him very soon though today may not be the day as FUTURE PROOF looks to build on his fine win on racecourse debut at Leopardstown last month. The sixth in that race, A Smooth Criminal has since won a Clonmel maiden over 1m2f. 100,00gns yearling Escamillo can give the selection the most to think about here.
