Aidan O'Brien's Poppit cost 180,000gns and is by the first-season sire Power out of a Group 2 winner. First Premio was unfancied on his debut over 7f here but stayed on nicely once the penny dropped and the longer trip will suit. MASSIF CENTRAL just couldn't find a finishing burst on very testing ground at Naas but should be suited by tonight's surface so gets another chance. Noble Intention ran his best race to date when tackling this surface for the first time three weeks ago and should be open to more improvement but Wimbourne should do better next season as his dam has produced several middle-distance winners.
