Sophisticated Heir was well beaten on his debut at Dundalk but did better in testing conditions at the Curragh and is expected to make a nice three-year-old. FORTIFY was expected to progress enough from his initial run to score at Roscommon but couldn't quicken and should be better suited by this longer trip. He's Aiden O'Brien's only runner of the meeting and should get off the mark. Polished Rock didn't enjoy Polytrack on his final start after looking much more at home on soft ground at Leopardstown earlier. Frozen North did better when tackling heavy ground for the first time at Roscommon while David Wachman has won this twice in recent years and his Danehill Dancer colt Hue And Cry is one to note in the market.
