Kammaan, a winner for Michael Jarvis in the UK last season, is making steady progress for new connections and ran well enough behind Foxillian at Roscommon to suggest he can go well under Joseph O'Brien. Leigh Roche rode a couple of winners at the turn of the month and Dermot Weld has snapped him up for the progressive TRUTH SEEKING, who lost her maiden tag in good style at Leopardstown. The handicapper hasn't overreacted and she can complete the double. Notgonnagiveup has been racing over 6f recently and should be better suited by today's trip while Gagnant is very much better than he showed at Leopardstown last time where a slight stumble didn't aid his cause. Tahitian Pearl won nicely at Down Royal on Friday and would have a real chance of following up if turning out quickly under a penalty.
