This features several who are likely to do better as three-year-olds. King Of Leinster was still beaten six lengths when second over 6f at Listowel back in September. Twenty Minutes is having a first run on Turf after two fair runs on Polytrack but Luzum has been gelded since finishing last at Leopardstown last June and better is expected. SCREAM ran green on debut at Leopardstown in October but showed some promise and wasn’t given a hard time. She’s by Vocalised so should handle today’s going and gets the nod. Impossibility made his debut in decent company at the Curragh last May but hasn’t been seen since.
