Beaten just over two lengths when attracting market support on his debut at Killarney, BEST THINK TWICE should have learned from that experience and may prove hard to beat today with Nina Carberry again in the plate. Miss Salinger has more experience than stablemates Native Palm and True Character and may prove the pick of Jessica Harrington's trio but more interesting is newcomer Kastani Beach, who comes from proven jumping stock. Maytide was second on his debut at Leopardstown and then ran well at the Galway Festival so can't be ignored in this grade.
