Ger Lyons has his horses flying so the newcomer Bonjour Bob is one to keep an eye on for the future. Caso Do Lago completely missed the break on his Navan debut and Eddie Lynam's speedily-bred colt is likely to do much better but Aidan O'Brien quickly applies a visor to OKLAHOMA CITY, who ran very green on his debut in what looked a strong maiden at Leopardstown. He'll want a bit further in time but should have enough pace to see off Taanif, who looked one-paced over a mile at Gowran last time.
