Not a strong finale by any means and POWERFUL KIERAN comfortably rates the one to side with. He shaped with abundant promise when runner-up in a handicap over 10f at Leopardstown 8 days ago, caught out of his ground early but noted finishing to very good effect. He can open his account now tackling 1½m. Female Approach, also up in trip, and Ragtime Red can do best of the others.
