Naturally Blond is looking to make amends after falling when clear at the last at Cork recently. But THE KING OF BREGA (NAP) made no mistake when scoring at Gowran on his first start since July and Henry De Bromhead’s charge is taken to go in again. King's Song can race off a similar mark as when successful at Sedgefield in September having been beaten over fences subsequently while Presentingprincess had gone close in a handicap here before disappointing in novice company at Cork and makes more appeal than Tramore third Yeats Mardy on that form.
