SMILE OF LOVE was returning from a long break when a close second at Tipperary earlier this month and normal progress can see her go one better. Passage Of War was a 100/1 chance when belying his odds with a very good run at Galway while Bienvenue was returning from a break when only mid-division at the Curragh and may do better when getting a handicap mark. The Vik's second to Sir Antonin at Limerick has been well advertised by the winner so he looks best of the remainder.
