Gold Seal is bred to win a Derby and started out at Ballydoyle. Derek O'Connor has been booked but Enda Bolger's charge has only been placed once in nine starts over fences. SUNRISE LADY has an almost identical record but Barry O'Neill has ridden her to victory in a point-to-point and she may be good enough in a very poor-quality race. Ask And Answer was in winning form last winter though hasn't been seen since March while I'm Not Alone jumped very poorly at Sligo after scoring at Wexford and may need a confidence booster. Top Question would have a chance on his second on the latter track in August while Gordon Elliott and Jamie Codd are a formidable team in these races and stable newcomer Bishops Quarter is unexposed.
