Black Key has now had 10 starts over timber without winning and may be better over further. Border Control hasn't ben in the best of form though today's quicker ground may prove more to his liking, a remark that also applies to his stable-companion ACHIEVER. A son of Galileo out of a Listed winner, he was totally unsuited to heavy going at Wexford in March but looks the type to make major progress in these conditions. Storm Rising has taken a long time to find his feet over hurdles but there was plenty to like about his close second to Jetez at Limerick and he looks certain to get into contention. Roman Rock made a nice start at Killarney while any money for Amicus Abu should be noted.
