WORLD STAGE is likely to have learned a good deal from his narrow defeat at the Curragh 18 days ago and can go one better now. Despite being edged out then, he showed a willing attitude and a replication of that effort might well prove enough to snare this prize, while he's entitled to improve for it. Of those that have run, Birds Of Prey, Dream Sleep and Sometimes A Fox are capable of getting involved while it is also noted that Smullen partners Hazama of the Weld pair – she went well over C&D on debut and can do so once more. There are some interesting newcomers to look out for, led by Fashaar.
