The three-year-old Lough Derg twice saw the back of stable-companion Bolshoi Ballet before running poorly in a Curragh Listed contest and steps up in trip as does fellow youngster O'reilly, who finished a long way in front of him at the Curragh when just failing to make all. KALAPOUR looked a potential Group horse when very impressive in a Down Royal maiden and though facing much better rivals looks the type to go on to better things. Sonnyboyliston has competed at a high level since completing a double in Curragh handicaps in the autumn while Sunchart has performed several times at Group 1 level since gaining his only success as a two-year-old.
