Noble Vision didn't show much in her opening two runs but made great strides at Limerick last time and further progress must see her in the firing line. Little Stevie didn't perform badly that day and, as that was his first-ever run, should get closer. Cilento, a dual winner for John Gosden, was expected to do better on his hurdling bow at Thurles but was beaten a long way and his stable also run Reetaj, placed in all seven starts on the Flat for Peter Chapple-Hyam. Money for either should be noted but this shouldn't take much winning and a chance is taken on FINDING TOUCH, an unraced son of Presenting out of an Irish Cesarewitch winner.
