Sheila Lavery won this last year and Multiviz showed some potential on her debut over 6f here in August. Successor was a 20/1 chance on his debut at Galway and didn't get going until the closing stages. That was over a mile so it's a surprise to see the Derby entry dropping in trip. EMBIRAN is by Shamardal out of a Group 3 winner over this trip. He looks just the type for this and is taken to make a successful debut. The beautifully-bred Moonlight Magic is related to seven winners, mostly over middle-distances, and he's certainly one for the notebook
