GLOBAL EXPORT's narrow defeats at Naas and Fairyhouse suggest he'll be too good for these unless there's something decent among the newcomers as none of those with experience have shown much. Evergreen And Red started a short price in that Naas event so better must have been expected. Gordon Elliott has two entries with Devils Cape, who is bred for the Flat, likely to prove quicker than Wrecking Ball Paul at this stage. Pidoyne had winning form on the Flat in the French Provinces while Strikeback showed some potential for the Crisfords in the UK last summer.
