SONNYBOYLISTON's only defeat in his last four came when third behind subsequent Irish St Leger winner Delphi at Naas. His impressive victory in a premier handicap here last month shot him up the ratings to 112 and he's progressing so fast that he can go higher after this. Order Of Australia is second-top on 107 and he's another on the upgrade having followed a victory at Dundalk with another over 1m4f on this track. Fiscal Rules had been running in top company before losing his maiden tag at Cork while Up Helly Aa, who won a Listed contest at Cork a year ago, has been placed at Listed and Group 3 level since returning from a long break. Etneya just failed to peg back Epona Plays in a Gowran Group 3 and can make her presence felt.
