As we have seen so often, some of Aidan O'Brien's runners need their first run and others don't and he's triple-handed here. Neither Demurely nor Drops showed much on their debuts but that tells us little while the newcomer Beach Of Falesa may need the experience though she's bred for this kind of trip. Livia Galilei looked in need of further on her reappearance over 1m2f at the Curragh while Dermot Weld's newcomer Quick Glimpse, another daughter of Galileo, looks a nice prospect for the future. MONTEBELL caught the eye on her debut over 1m2f at Navan, staying on well when the penny dropped, and with this trip sure to suit she can take this for Ken Condon.
