Daybreak Boy easily landed a Dundalk maiden in December and would probably have needed his comeback at Gowran last month so is likely to make a bold bid to return to winning ways. FIESOLE has really found his form in recent weeks scoring twice over hurdles and on the Flat at Limerick where he won with plenty in hand. He's up 10lb but still looks capable of better. San Remo is by Frankel but hasn't done anywhere near as well as expected despite winning a Dundalk maiden while Black Ruby found Listed company too much for her at Naas after landing a maiden here.
