MORRICONE travelled with purpose and left previous efforts behind when runner-up at Tramore last month, so he's a solid choice to go one better at the possible expense of No Show, a comfortable winner at Wexford a fortnight ago. Resilient Front is a notable handicap debutant if the market vibes are right.
