TOTALLY DOMINANT had proved expensive to follow before coming good at Punchestown where he was always travelling well and beat a huge field in style. He's a nice prospect and should score again though Angel Chorus will be no pushover. Aidan O'Brien's mare ended her first campaign in excellent form, following a cracking run behind the useful Pink Hat at Wexford with a victory over a big field at Listowel though both runs were on ground with plenty of give. Itchymei'Mscratch was well supported to make a winning start on fast going at Downpatrick last month and ran on strongly to snatch the spoils on the line so he looks next best.
