Johnny Murtagh looks to have found a simple opportunity for AZTEC PARADE to get off the mark. A good third to the smart Napa Valley here on his debut was followed by a short-head defeat at Naas, form which none of these rivals can match. Loved Out made a promising start at Gowran but didn't appear to progress when well beaten over 1m2f here next time and the remainder have shown nothing.
