Sweeping Statement is top rated here and, like stablemates Battle Manoueuvre and Irish Act ran at Dundalk on Friday, though he performed in a handicap rather than a claimer. Approach The Land, another from the yard, was well beaten on his only start at Wolverhampton in February. Cometh The Man also ran at Dundalk on Friday but a strike-rate of 0-43 tells its own story and he finished behind The Rebel Breen there. Santa Catarina has shown a bit of potential and James Henry produced his best run to date at Dundalk but the vote goes to PALAIS D'ELYSEE as she hasn't been running badly in handicaps and has her first start at this level.
