Verdict
It's impossible to get away from the chances of BORAGH STEPS, who caught the eye in no uncertain terms behind the experienced Dawn Delivers at the Curragh a week ago and should go one better. Scoil Naisiunta was a long way behind that day but wasn't unduly punished and the kindness should be rewarded soon. His stable also runs Solar Wave, who makes a quick reappearance after a moderate run at Leopardstown on Thursday. Cristale could prove best of the newcomers as she cost €135,000 and is a half-sister to the useful Group Three winner Electric Waves.
