Estrela Brage was a decent sort on the Flat a couple of years ago and stepped up on his debut effort over timber when third at Fairyhouse in January. He could easily play a part if fully wound up following a break and preferred to Fairwood Massini, who hasn't raced since runner-up to Commandment at Thurles in October. Son Of My Heart wouldn't be far away on his third at Navan in March but we'll give another chance to MR SHAHADY. Dessie Hughes' gelding looked a progressive sort prior to his run at Limerick at the start of the month and can leave that effort behind here.
