Jessica Harrington's Lesley Dawn likes to get on with things from the front but may have company in the shape of Mischievious Max, Darkest Flyer and Game Of War. The early pace could set the race up for MIND'S EYE from the in form Henry De Bromhead yard, the five-year-old has been in top form since return to the track this term. Another in form stable is represented by Let's Twist Again along with the improving Midnight Stroll could hit the frame.
