Although ULTRAMARINE was beaten when long odds-on at Dundalk in November, his earlier efforts behind the likes of Native Trail and Sacred Bridge put him firmly in the driving seat and he should finally get off the mark. Lopes Gold is another who should have lost her maiden tag by now and she's only narrowly been beaten the last three times. Chrismoltisanti is improving and can get into the frame while Ali Babes is one to note when sent into handicap company.
