BALLYMIST upped his game when a smooth-travelling second at Dundalk on handicap debut and, if he can replicate that sort of performance on turf debut, he should be able to get off the mark up against more exposed sorts. Gift of Kings returns to the Flat on an appealing mark and is feared most, while Molly Kate is also of interest having run with credit over hurdles last time.
