Vanguard Star missed the break when tackling 5f at the Curragh last week and stayed on late while Coolcalmncollected ran very well for a 100/1 chance over the track and trip a fortnight ago. SOMETHING NICE missed the break in the latter race but was going on strongly at the finish. He'll need to make good progress if he's to beat the much more experienced Ardad's Great, who is likely to be supported after another good run at the Curragh, but is taken to do so. Decorated My Life must be well regarded as he's been racing in much stronger company without showing much.
