Many of these have hit the ground running already this season and Andrew Oliver will be delighted that MISS VELOCITY has sneaked in at the bottom of the weights as she is 6lbs better off with Brushed Aside for the one length she was beaten at Leopardstown. Blue Dahlia was over seven lengths behind Brushed Aside at Dundalk in March but showed the benefit of that run when scoring over this trip on soft ground at the Curragh and has plenty of scope for further improvement. It's a surprise to find Mujaazef racing over today's trip after he scored on heavy ground over 1m1f at Cork early last month but connections must believe he has the pace to be effective. Wellmarked has only raced at Wolverhampton where he landed a maiden on Boxing Day though that form hasn't worked out particularly well but Rockymountainhigh showed promise in three starts last season and looks the type to do well in his second campaign.
