Craftsman is by Mastercraftsman out of a 6f winner, so should be ideally suited to this trip, as should his stablemate Emperors Song, a full brother to the useful Ishvana. Solar Focus may be suited by further in time but Mawred should like the trip as his dam scored over an extended 7f. Warbird made a promising debut at the Curragh and started odds-on in a four-runner event at Tipperary but was well beaten by Illinois. The third has been well beaten subsequently, so this can go to SO SO FAR. He made his debut in the race over this track and trip in which Mekong River was handed the verdict in the stewards' room and with that under his belt he can improve and score here.
