Jim Bolger wouldn't be running the newcomer Ceisteach at this level unless she was well regarded but this is a tough task against five winners. Fly To The Moon would need to improve again from her nursery victory at the Curragh and she's not certain to beat third-placed Bluebell at these weight. The latter's stable companion INDIAN MAHARAJA looks the one to be on as he was very impressive at Gowran and entries in all the major juvenile events suggest he's one of Ballydoyle's potential stars. Boom The Groom had winners behind when making a successful start at Fairyhouse and can only get better and Captain's Afair battled on determinedly to beat three subsequent winners on soft ground at Gowran in May and has been waiting for the going to ease.
