Jim Bolger's newcomer Whip Mark is a full brother to the once-raced juvenile winner Roches Cross and has plenty of potential so it would be no shock if he were to make a winning start as those with experience look vulnerable. However, another chance is given to ATYAAB, who wears blinkers for the first time after finding little when headed over longer trips. Gala Spirit has been a short-priced favourite on her last two starts, the latest on polytrack at Dundalk where she just failed to hold the late burst of The Mighty Atom. Ibelieveinmiracles has now gone a dozen races without winning and she has done better since dropping down to the minimum trip on her last two starts.
