JAQEN H'GHAR had Orotaveo and Kitty Leroy behind when runner-up to Fire Tree in a similar moderate nursery at Dundalk. The latter pair looked as though they could do with an extra furlong so Aidan O'Brien's charge can go one better. Laws Of Spin attempted to make all on heavy ground over this trip at Listowel and didn't give way until close home before finding a mile on soft ground at Cork beyond him so is likely to take some catching. After a fine run over a mile at Killarney when caught in the closing stages, Hot To The Touch started favourite over this trip at Down Royal but never got to the front and should do better. Intense Stylist couldn't handle heavy going at Limerick and is better judged on her earlier better run behind Know at Navan.
