Cirin Toinne won a maiden on her debut here a year ago and bounced back to winning ways in a conditions' race at Tipperary for which she's been raised 3lb. DE CORONADO (NAP) won a Dundalk maiden in August and was having only his second subsequent start when a close third behind Poitin over 1m2f here last month. The winner was receiving 11lb so it was a very good performance by Aidan O'Brien's colt who has the scope to go on to better things over this longer trip. Creeping Ivy completed a double over 1m4f at Dundalk in the autumn but didn't do as well as expected when sent over hurdles while Jan Van Eyck hasn't been in the best of form.
