The four-year-old Bold Emperor looked a very nice prospect when scooting away with a Limerick maiden in March and should be even more effective on this quicker ground. Creative Talent has a bit to do under the race conditions as he's rated 116 after beating the luckless Icario at Kilbeggan. LITTLE FOLKE was disqualified after finishing first past at Clonmel before a decent effort in a Grade 3 at Down Royal. She comfortable lost her maiden tag at Tramore last month and looks the one to be on. Look Closer has found his form in the past few weeks, just like his yard, and could hardly have been more impressive here last time so he should get into the frame
