Tucson Train is probably best of those with experience though was beaten 10 lengths into second at Leopardstown. Ithaka goes for Johnny Murtagh and has a stayer's pedigree while Mylestown Upper is a half-brother to a winning jumper in France. STARMAN is a half-brother to seven winners, including the high-class Laurina, and can make a winning start, though any money for Shake Him Up would be interesting
