ONENIGHTIDREAMED couldn't cope with Answered at the Curragh but showed a positive attitude and looks set to go one better. Jocular started odds-on in a poor contest at Dundalk but was narrowly defeated by Bint Dandy. There should be much more to come from Johnny Murtagh's colt while Centre Of Interest didn't appear to take to Polytrack after two very encouraging runs on good going. Battle Hymn hasn't been beaten far in his last two starts at Dundalk and wouldn't need much more to take a hand.
