McTenett has a penalty for scoring at Naas but had plenty in hand and won't be easily beaten. KING CUAN started a short-priced favourite for a Curragh maiden back in May but didn't get the clearest of runs before staying on. He's been given time to mature and looks a nice prospect. All three newcomers are worth a market check with Pipsy possibly the best of them at this stage.
