Aranhill Chief defied a huge starting price to run very well at Galway and with further progress likely looks certain to be in the firing-line. Waylander didn't show much on his debut but did much better at Killarney last month and is another who will make progress. Moyne Nineoseven had shown nothing before a better run at Roscommon though he's likely to need a longer trip in time so a chance is taken with TOUCH THE WIND. He showed plenty of promise on his debut between the flags at Dromahane in May and with that under his belt can make a winning start under Rules.
