Mike De Kock has been a critic of the new Dirt track but does have a few runners on the surface and GENERAL MARSHALL can get this non-carnival fixture off to a winning start for the South African. He cost an incredible 1.5m guineas as a two-year-old but never came close to repaying that purchase with Aidan O'Brien last season, though he was placed on a couple of occasions at Dundalk. Romosh was a 100/1 chance when making his debut behind Mastermind last week and did very well so he should improve enough to mount a challenge while Sullivan Street made a fair debut on the track behind Year Of Glory last month when Intense Effort finished around six lengths behind. The 100,000gns foal, Sky Jockey may do best of the remainder.
