Most of these have had plenty of chances including First Gentleman, who was in good form in mid-summer but ran a shocker at the Curragh last time. Billboa's best run was at Dundalk while Beaumadier has gone off the boil since a couple of good runs in the spring. Greek Flower had been racing in sprints before a fine run over 7f on heavy going at Down Royal though she was only beaten a head in a 5f handicap there in the summer. NOUVEL ESPOIR never got close enough to challenge at the Curragh last month but stayed on nicely and Colin Keane has been booked so he can get off the mark.
