Belle Noverre landed a handicap at Hamilton before disappointing when favourite at Down Royal while Table Forty Six scrambled home in a fillies' maiden at Ballinrobe. Dragon's Den has found 1m4f stretching his stamina on his last two starts and this could prove his ideal trip. He looks sure to get involved but Vampire Blues only had three opponents to beat at Down Royal and will find this tougher. ASASEASYAS doesn't win often but looked ready to score again when just failing in a three-way photo at Ballinrobe where she was staying on strongly over that 1m1f trip. She is generally consistent and looks sure to give a good account.
