A tremendous renewal with SOLE PRETENDER getting the vote despite being the only one not to have won last time though that was over hurdles after completing a double over fences. Call Me Lyreen, a very smart hurdler, hasn't had much to beat in his last two runs over fences but has done it well enough while Ganapathi sauntered home at Wexford to remain unbeaten over the bigger obstacles. The Dara Man showed massive improvement to land a Killarney handicap and Champagne Gold's victory over Everglow at Wexford puts him right in the picture. Visionarian made a winning start over fences at Wexford but like Mind Your Money will need to find more in this company.
