Old Front Rank should make his presence felt again here while there may be more to come from Goodness. Noel Kelly sends First Morning over from County Derry with a chance following his fifth at Perth but he competes off level weights with KNIGHT VALLIANT, who looks the form pick on his form in better company in the spring. Grethel may prove best of the rest in a modest finale.
