Getting Late has only shown moderate ability in maidens though he's been well supported and will appreciate the going. His stablemate Reflet Ambre also makes his handicap debut and his best run was in very heavy ground in France. Westerners Son scored over slightly further on soft ground at Leopardstown and hasn't been disgraced from his new mark so he should get into the action though the vote goes to CURRAGH NA GOLD. She gained her first success at Clonmel last month before running well for a long way when sent into Grade 3 company a few days later. All About Alfie may have been placed but for falling at the last at Naas in January while Black Ice's only victory came on very heavy going.
