Well beaten in Listed company last time, Dali made all to win over 5f at Naas earlier and the other Ballydoyle colt, Fleet Review, led for most of the way when scoring over track and trip recently. Both Boragh Steps and Blue Uluru won their respective maidens over 6f at the same Fairyhouse meeting last month and I AM POWER beat a subsequent winner when making a winning start at Navan. The latter gets the nod on that form, though Mona Bell is a half-sister to a Listed winner and fellow newcomer Gottardo is speedily-bred and related to four winners.
