KARASI made a pleasing start at the Curragh last time out and is deemed likely to get off the mark before too long. Any improvement should have him in firing line here. Norway will also have more to offer before long for the Ballydoyle team while Biltmore, Excelcius and Third World should also improve on their efforts so far.
