Brelade finished a close second to Aspen Colorado at Leopardstown and though not quite showing the expected improvement at Punchestown it was still a decent run in a much better race than this. Just in front of him that day was MOULIN A VENT, who was making his debut. With no reason for a form turnaround, Noel Meade's charge can confirm the places and take this. Dawn Raider has improved with every run and only just failed to catch Sanibel Island at Ballinrobe in May while Let's Twist Again has been coming up against useful opposition without being disgraced. The Granson made a promising debut at Naas in February and clearly wasn't right at Limerick the following month.
