Joseph O'Brien's presence on board Dazzling suggests she may be the best of the Ballydoyle trio at this stage though that's not always the case and both Shell House, like the former a daughter of Galileo, and the Oasis Dream filly Sparrow, have to be kept on the right side. Jim Bolger runs two daughters of Intense Focus, Kevin Manning's mount Beyond Intensity and the apprentice-ridden Gold Focus. Either could be good enough as could Circling, another Galileo filly and out of a Listed winner. SPARKLE FACTOR made an encouraging start in what looked a strong Naas maiden and, as she wasn't given a hard time, can repay the kindness and go one better.
