Verdict

Erato, a full sister to five winners, needs to improve from a moderate debut at Bellewstown but is almost certain to do so. Stable companion Promises To Keep is also a sister to five winners but hasn't been seen since September. Van Demon couldn't contain the odds-on Shamwari at Dundalk but had Great Cat Mau behind and can confirm the form. JUPITER ROCK was returning from a long break when well supported at the Curragh in June but was probably in need of the run. He has the scope to do better so gets the nod.
