AIN'T NO SURPRISE is a full-sister to 5f two-year-old winner Somoud and should be speedy. She's given the nod to make a winning start though Ealain Aibrean, who is out of a winning sprinter from a very speedy family, should also be well forward. With Jim Bolger's horses in such good form, Stirabout will attract support though he's bred to get much further. Ger Lyons won this last year so Ubiquitous Mantle is worth noting in the market.
