FINDING NERO showed plenty of promise at Dundalk last year but looked ideally suited to this sort of trip when staying on strongly to score at Gowran. He's only been raised 3lb and, with the slightly longer trip and easier going certain to suit, he can follow up. Cork Harbour looked a progressive type before a moderate run at Tipperary, which didn't look his form, but Royal Admiral's victory at Cork and second at Fairyhouse came on fast going. Misty Millie is better over hurdles but ran very well behind Cj Cregg at Roscommon and a big run from the winner in the previous race will point to her chances while Cuban Surfer didn't get the best of runs last time and looks on a tempting mark.
