The four-year-old GOLD SEAL can take this as he has been going very well on quick ground and was only run out of it close home at Wexford. He's likely to improve again as is fellow youngster Park Paddocks, who completed a double on soft ground in the spring but showed faster conditions hold no terrors with a fine run at Bellewstown where he was conceding the winner a stone. Line Out was in excellent form last summer and will have needed his comeback in May while The Granson looked like winning at Listowel until run out of it on the Flat. Storm Rising had been threatening to win for some time before getting off the mark in a Limerick maiden and doesn't look badly treated.
