FARAWAY MOUNTAIN was travelling well for much of the way on his debut at Gowran and, though unable to reel in Snag List, that will have done him the power of good and he should go one better. Concience enjoyed stepping up to this trip at Downpatrick and ran her best race to date while Bancomar, who finished fifth, should get much closer as he was making his racecourse debut. Field Robin was beaten a long way when third at Down Royal and more will be needed.
