Richard Hannon sends Mensen Ernst for this and he should find the ground more to his liking after staying on strongly on fast going at Brighton. POTALA PALACE looked a likely future winner when beaten only a length at Leopardstown and probably bumped into a decent one when just failing to concede 8lb to Justina at Roscommon. He can go one better though Raven's Cry ran well enough at Bellewstown to be considered and both Borelli, runner-up on the same track, and Helvic Dream should progress enough to make their presence felt. Natural Power was staying on over 6f at Leopardstown and, along with The Truant, is no forlorn hope in a competitive maiden.
