Kevin Prendergast has won this twice in the past four years so Nabat Sultan, the first foal of a two-year-old winner, is worth a second look. LEITIR MOR has twice been narrowly beaten by Ballydoyle inmates on this track but has done nothing wrong and, with further progress likely, he can get off the mark. Gale Force Ten represents Aidan O'Brien and though beaten on his debut at Dundalk he'll be happier over this extra furlong on ground with some give. John Oxx usually introduces his nicest early juveniles around this time of the year so Sharkayla is one to keep an eye on.
