Havana Go showed up nicely on his debut at Leopardstown in the summer and was returning from a long break when third over the trip last month. IRISH MINISTER didn't show much on his debut here but was strongly supported when tackling a mile next time though could find no extra at the business end. He's given another chance in what doesn't look the strongest of maidens. Noble Kingsway had been racing over the minimum before stepping up to this trip three weeks ago but didn't show the necessary improvement. Feisty Katerina showed a bit of ability last year including in a Group 2 at the Curragh. She should be noted in the market along with Dermot Weld's Rock Of Gibraltar newcomer Zarena.
