IT'S NEVER SIMPLE caught the eye on his return from an absence at Naas in March and is given a chance to build on that promise, with confidence increased should the market vibes be strong. Ballerina Boxer's last 2 efforts show she can be very competitive from her mark and she's second choice ahead of Hangry. The other J P McManus runner, Harley Street, needs checking out in the betting on first start for Enda Bolger.
