Despite the presence of several choicely-bred newcomers, AMHRASACH looks the one to be on. Jim Bolger's filly showed the benefit of her Curragh debut with a very good run behind the odds-on Athens on soft ground at Listowel and today's quicker going should be in her favour. Aidan O'Brien, who trained the winner that day, is represented by the Dansili colt Tibet, whose dam was a Listed winner as a juvenile so he should have enough pace to make his mark. Zalantoun is one to keep an eye on for the future being a son of Dalakhani as is his stablemate Key To The Dance, a half-sister to the very useful and versatile Pittoni.
