Joza was racing on fast ground for the first time when staying on strongly over 6f at Fairyhouse so looks to have everything in his favour here. Pulsing Dragon showed marked improvement from his debut when catching the eye with a late burst over this trip at Roscommon and should make further progress. Early Strike was well beaten at Navan but his stable have struck form so better is expected. CARTES is out of a mare who produced a two-year-old winner over this trip with her first offspring and with his stable still going strongly he's taken to make a successful debut. Zuenoon's pedigree suggests he'll be ideally suited by the trip while the filly Paistiul is by Dawn Approach out of a mare who won over 2m
