ORACLE has done enough in his two starts to date to justify support here. The son of Danehill Dancer has shown very good pace given his pedigree and his second to Temple Meads at Newmarket sets the standard. Tasheeq drops back in trip after two fine efforts over 7f, the latest when three-quarters of a length behind Robin Hood at Galway. He's been showing good speed and won't be inconvenienced by this 6f. Unlikely Hero should pick up a race before long but may have to wait for a nursery while Yellow Dandy and Whipless are both open to plenty of improvement. Green Warrior had every chance against Looking Lovely at Leopardstown but that was an improvement on his opening run there and he's another to be respected.
