SO SUAVE was easy to back at Navan last month but ran a race full of promise and was only beaten a neck. Granted normal improvement, he should go one better in this. Gold Brocade was a little disappointing in a nursery last time but had been showing decent form before that while Joven has placed at Fairyhouse and Leopardstown and still appears to be heading in the right direction. Algeria is a half-brother to two winners and is possibly the most interesting of the newcomers.
