It's hard to put much confidence in a 16-race maiden but REPOSADO had been shaping up well in huge-field handicaps prior to his latest Dundalk flop and with that effort easy to put a line through, Robson De Aguiar's 4-y-o earns the tentative vote. Faoladh doubled his tally at Down Royal recently and he can give the selection most to think about, with Goal Exceeded and Loingseoir taken to fight out minor honours.
