QUADRIGA will probably start a short-priced favourite and is difficult to oppose after being caught in the closing stages over this trip at Dundalk. There should be a bit of improvement in him though he's up against some very choicely-bred newcomers as well as Gathering Power, who produced two fine runs in March but hasn't raced subsequently. Tommy Stack's newcomers on this track are always worth noting so the Rock Of Gibraltar colt Snakes And Ladders is on the short-list along with Karamaya, a half-sister to the useful Karatash. Dermot Weld has been in cracking form at York so Cocktail Hour, a half-sister to Group 3 winning juvenile Love Lockdown, is another to consider in what should prove an informative maiden.
