MILLFORD SOUND is up 5lb for an all-the-way victory over 1m2f at Naas but is probably even better over this trip so can complete a quick double. Appian Way didn't get the run of the race on his handicap debut at Tipperary and can do better while Ellaat stayed on very strongly to land a 1m1f handicap at Ballinrobe, when the returning Ultra Pride was around 5l behind, and the longer trip will be in his favour. Ozone showed potential in his first campaign and his pedigree suggests he'll make progress this season.
