CONAN'S ROCK attracted little attention on his debut at Limerick but couldn't have performed much better, staying on strongly over a mile to get close to the winner Zeftan. He'll improve for that and will be hard to beat while Resolute Response looked badly in need of the experience in heavy ground at Tipperary and will also have come on for the run. Lake Nova is by Montjeu out of a winning miler and still has a Derby entry. He's related to winners but faces a stiff task against race-fit rivals. Golden Silence may prove best of the remainder.
