Despite still looking a work-in-progress, RAPPAREE CHAMP marked himself down as one to follow when reeling in one boasting much greater experience in a Fairyhouse maiden (12f) 6 weeks ago and he can follow up in receipt of weight all round. Waltham, an impressive winner himself on debut, and Picture of A City are others fancied to be thereabouts.
