DULEEK STREET (NAP) showed his first sign of ability at the Curragh and was well supported for his track debut a couple of weeks ago but found one too good, though he didn't get the clearest of runs. Compensation awaits though Sam Missile has been narrowly beaten the last twice and looks certain to get involved. Clan Jock has never won but is generally thereabouts and has run well in both visits here. Lily Of The Glen just failed to get up over the extended 1m2f track a fortnight ago and stays this trip while Shamiyan, whose only victory came over the course and distance a year ago, started favourite last time on the back of a very narrow previous defeat but didn't get the run of the race.
