RED SPARKY has finished behind Sam Winner and Unaccompanied on his last two starts and is most unlikely to meet anything of their calibre here. He gets the vote over Akatara, who made a highly promising debut over timber at Navan a month ago behind Narima with King's Parade and Sun Disc well beaten. The latter made progress to finish close up in a big field at Naas subsequently and looks better than Sounds Of Thunder for a place.
