Sea The Awesome didn't enjoy soft ground at Roscommon last time and looks well exposed. This has been run three times and Aidan O'Brien has won two of them with three-year-olds. He has a trio of newcomers entered today and all of them are by Fastnet Rock with Candle Rocks related to numerous winners and Santa Anita, who cost 320,000gns, a half-brother to the Oaks winner Talent. Sugarloaf Mountain is a half-brother to the Irish Oaks winner Bracelet and out of a mare from the family of Sea The Stars and Galileo. Dermot Weld won the race in 2014 with the six-year-old Silver Concorde and VIGIL can follow suit. A very smart bumper and winning hurdler, he can be a force over timber this winter and this looks a nice pipe-opener. She's A Star has won a bumper and a hurdle on very heavy ground in just three starts so any further rain would aid her cause. Jim Bolger's newcomer Constancio, a son of Authorized, is another to keep an eye on in an interesting contest.
