The well-bred ESHERANN maintained his theme of race-by-race progress when making it third time lucky with cheekpieces enlisted (retained here) in a Naas maiden last month. He looks potentially useful and is taken to follow up on this handicap debut. Molto Amichi is next on the list, while Onemoredance has to be considered, despite a hefty hike in the weights on the back of her recent Tipperary success, and last year's winner Longbourn is also shortlisted.
