Grand Coalition is penalised for his maiden victory at the Curragh but his two subsequent runs have been at Group 2 level and this is a big drop in class. Fasuba ran in a Listed contest at Tipperary a couple of weeks ago and ran better than his final placing suggests but it's GISELLE'S CHARM who looks the one to be on. Michael O'Callaghan's filly dropped back to this trip for the first time at Navan earlier this month and ran out a clear winner with the suggestion of more to come. Texas Dancer was almost 6l behind in that latter race and looks held and neither of the remaining pair with experience have shown enough.
