The filly Epaneema couldn't quite catch Sizzling on her debut at Tipperary but didn't improve on that in her next start at Leopardstown. HUNTING HORN made a very promising debut at the Curragh and started odds-on at Galway but found Hazapour too strong in the closing stages. Better is expected this campaign and he can start with a victory before heading to the Dante. His stable companion Gardens Of Babylon is also in at York and he made an eye-catching debut behind a stablemate at Leopardstown though Latrobe, who hails from a yard who have started well, finished runner-up that day with the promise of much more to come.
