Bang Bang Rosie won a Limerick maiden over 2m3f then started odds-on at Kilbeggan but couldn't match the speed of Osco Mosco in a slowly-run race. AMSCHEL changed stables after landing a Clonmel maiden at this trip then had the pace to score over the minimum at Gowran. He looks certain to improve again and can take care of Boot Camp, who had a battle on his hands before coming out on top over an extended 2m at Down Royal. Plouios stepped up to this trip and gained an impressive victory at Kilbeggan and though that was on soft ground he's won between the flags on good going.
