Verdict

NATURAL POWER made a promising start over 6f at Leopardstown then ran very well behind Raven's Cry over this trip at Galway, form that should be good enough for this unless any of the newcomers is special. The Truant is held on the latter form but One Cool Choice had little chance on her debut when her saddle slipped though ran well enough in a decent Sligo maiden to suggest she'll be in the mix. Jim Bolger's Ivy Avenue is a half-sister to two winners while Tom Mullins has his horses in good form and Miss Myers is a full-sister to a winner in France.
