HAY POINT couldn't quite cope with Chicago at Fairyhouse but that was no disgrace as the winner has followed up in a better event. John Oxx' filly has more to offer and will be difficult to beat. Tibet represents Chicago's connections and though he's been disappointing don't be surprised by a much better show. Encrypted Message is certain to come in for strong support after beating a strong field of maidens at Fairyhouse while Teofolina looked unlucky in-running behind today's rival Jeremy's Girl at Naas and made no mistake at Tipperary last week. Sure Reef has made gradual progress as he's stepped up in trip while Hurricane Ridge is dropping to a winnable mark and looked on the way back at Fairyhouse last time.
