Aidan O'Brien runners often take a big step forward from their debut runs and that should hold KING NEPTUNE in good stead provided he handles conditions here. Ickworth is a well bred filly expected to improve on just her second start while In The Present is another Dundalk winner who is respect for connections who do well with their juveniles.
