Plenty in with chances but SMOOTH TOM resumed his progress when runner-up on handicap debut at Galway last month and, back in maiden company today, he's fancied to open his account. Hibernia Oppositus heads up the opposition after his promising debut effort at Dundalk back in March, while Aidan O'Brien's newcomer Harley Street and Touching Clouds are another couple who warrant a second look.
