Not a contest to set the pulse racing but it might be the QUELUZ proves the most reliable option. He remains a maiden but was a clear second last time out at Gowran Park and has also been hitting the frame at Dundalk this year. It remains a concern that he hasn't won, but he does seem destined to run his race. Blue Book, also a maiden, can be given some chance under a claim for the Harrington team while Roses Need Rain would be a lively contender based on his penultimate effort at Navan over a mile. Misty Mountain has been showing some positives and gets cheekpieces now to aid the cause whilst the addition of Pat Smullen could work the oracle for Apache Gold, who has run some decent races lately.
