This looks an ideal opportunity for HYPERNOVA to get off the mark. A close third behind stable companion National Gallery and a subsequent winner early last month, with Mna Na Mhi around six lengths behind, he then finished a good second to Daintree, who was completing a double. Twilight Man led for a long way when tackling 7f last week but is probably best over 6f while Tawaazon, having his first start for Denis Hogan after transferring from the UK, has never raced over the minimum. Tastyee was a 250/1 chance on her second start over 6f here in November but was in the lead at this trip and was only beaten a length.

Twilight Man 14-1 (9-12) Soon led, 3 lengths clear halfway, pushed along and reduced advantage 2f out, ridden and headed over 1f out, kept on one pace, no impression on winner close home, 2nd of 14, 1/2l behind Resourceful Man (10-0) at Dundalk 7f hcp pol in Jan.
