Golden Flower is the form pick on her run behind George Vancouver at Dundalk in July. She's certain to improve for that run and will be difficult to beat. Red Clasp has shown good speed in both starts on Polytyrack but the remainder with experience look moderate. Free Days looks the more speedily-bred of Sarah Dawson's pair while Eimears Lilly is out of a mare who won five times at the minimum trip. Rathangan-based handler Reginald Roberts has very few in his yard and GENERAL DIRECTION is his first two-year-old runner of the year. He's bred for pace and the key will be the betting as the stable's runners rarely go unbacked so if the market speaks in his favour he's the one to be on.
