Cenotaph couldn't handle In My Pocket here last month and is no stable star but today's longer trip should bring about some improvement. SALTHOUSE made a belated debut over a mile at Limerick and caught the eye with a staying-on run behind Wardell. Jim Bolger's Teofilo colt will have come on for the experience and can gain his first victory. Swordfight has never been beaten far and the step-up in trip should suit while the well-connected Tiger Moon showed some potential at Naas. Pretty Love has her first start since runner-up to Clutchingatstraws at Dundalk in December and may not be quite sharp enough. New Agenda can prove best of the newcomers as he's related to several winners.
