Plenty with claims and only a speculative vote going to CYCLAMEN. The Ballydoyle colt finished in front of Sunset Shiraz when runner-up at Bellewstown and is preferred to Mount Fairweather, who placed at the same track last time when ahead of Pride Of Derry. Karakoul represents last year’s winning yard and he was only caught close home at Killarney recently while Eurocrat is expected to improve on a debut third at Leopardstown. Malayan is another likely improver for Dermot Weld’s yard.
