LUNAR EMPRESS improved a little on her previous exploits whilst leaving the distinct impression she's ready for the step up to this trip when second in a Galway maiden 37 days ago and she can confirm as much and get off the mark at the fifth attempt. Woodstream is an appealing newcomer from the Joseph O'Brien yard and commands a look, as does his stablemate Belicoso. Ocean Phoenix and The Captains Day are others who make each-way appeal.
