Wind Of Hope has placed in his last three but is probably not the force of old. Moidore and Boher Lad are also in the veteran stage now but the maiden Ciarabella should give a good account again, despite a 3lb rise for finishing second over track and trip in February. GAMEFACE finished well ahead of Lammturner when a close third here last month and a repeat of that effort would probably suffice.
