Three-year-olds have won all but one of the last 16 renewals. Creative Talent has performed with credit against better opposition in his two latest starts and should get into the frame. He finished behind Pincode at Ballinrobe last time but the latter has had enough chances and may do better in handicaps. Dermot Weld puts a visor on Innish Man, who hasn't run for a year, while Crossandra has been looking one-paced and may find the ground a bit quick. NOVA has more scope than most of these and is related to some very smart winners in the USA. He looked in need of further on his debut over 1m2f at Down Royal and should have progressed enough to take this.
