DYNAMITE DIXIE returned to action at Leopardstown with a fine performance when just touched off by the well-regarded Azamata. He showed signs of inexperience that day or may have won and with that under his belt can go one better. Taigan, who finished sixth, looked in need of the run and should have come on enough to get closer. Speaking Of Which didn't get the hang of things until too late when tackling a mile on his debut at the Curragh and stayed on well enough to suggest she can get into the mix, while John Oxx' newcomer Alindjar is one to note for the future.
