Ireland has some top-class apprentices at present, none more so than Colin Keane, who can steer ARTISTIC INTEGRITY to another success after making all on him over 7f at Gowran on Tuesday. He'll shoot up the ratings as a consequence of that victory and Ger Lyons is taking advantage of the race conditions here. Korbous ran his best race since his opening victory in 2012 when a close third behind Apache Gold at Cork last month but Queen Of Norway finished tailed off on her return to action on the same track and is best watched for now. Nedera is improving and wasn't beaten far at Wexford so she could provide a threat if maintaining her progress.
