In depth

Verdict

Cafe Con Leche took a step forward at Roscommon but that was only a claimer and over a much shorter trip. The Kingman filly XCITE faces much weaker opposition than when third at Fairyhouse and was only beaten a short-head at Gowran last month. She is likely to be s short price in this and can open her account at the fourth time of asking as Hereia is making his debut on Turf and having a first run since January. Neither of the remaining pair have shown much to date.
