Another huge field of maidens but few have realistic claims. One that definitely has is Casimir Road, who ran easily his best race when a close third to Authinger at Tramore. He gets the age allowance here and must be a threat to all but DARA TANGO looks the one to be on. Tony Martin's charge has taken his time to find his form since arriving from France but ran very well over the C&D last time and looks ready to strike. Johnnys Legacy wasn't far behind that day and has since run reasonably well in a handicap while Cyprusormilan attempted to make all over 2m4f at Gowran and wasn't headed until the last. He's likely to make this a stamina test and it will be a surprise if he's not thereabouts at the finish.
