Dragon Khan only ran twice last year but has returned in fine shape having been placed twice over 7f on soft ground. However, he's still a maiden after 18 starts and has gone back up in the weights. Prince Jock ran a cracking race behind Aussie Guest at Cork last month but the going was very fast and that's his preferred surface. SOFI'S SPIRIT completed a four-timer for Stan Moore in 2012 and is steadily making her way back for new connections. She's tried over a longer trip here and, in the hope she will be suited, is handed the verdict. Rockview Emperor followed his victory at Gowran with another excellent run from an 8lb higher mark at Clonmel last week and looks a danger to all.
