Apercu caught the eye on his debut here and stepped up to finish a close third next time. Further progress can see her in the firing-line while Firebrand was placed at Marseille in October, though the winner has done little for the form. DAWN RIDER, by Galileo out of a USA Grade 2 winner, never showed on her debut here in October but will have come on a bundle for the experience and has the scope to go on to better things. Her stablemate Moab is by Camelot out of a prolific winner in the USA and is a newcomer worth noting. New Phenomenon was narrowly beaten at Gowran and was well supported for a Curragh maiden but did not get the run of the race so she is expected to go close.
