Joseph O'Brien saddles the trio at the head of the weights. COLFER ME hadn't shown much in three maidens when a big price on each occasion but that didn't prevent him being heavily supported on his nursery debut at Down Royal where he didn't disappoint and attracted the attention of the stewards. He had a bit in hand over today's rival Rathmoylan Cove and though hit with a 10lb rise looks capable of going on from here. Gold Jasmine had been going well before landing the odds in a maiden claimer at Tipperary and looks on a fair mark while Cuban Surfer has been finding 6f too short and the ground too fast in nurseries at the Curragh and it will be a surprise if he's not thereabouts. Harvest Bow has shown enough to suggest she can get competitive over this longer trip.
