NEW YORK CITY (NAP) couldn't handle Group 1 company in the Middle Park but had been narrowly beaten in his opening two runs and can get off the mark. Special Power hasn't been beaten far in any of his races and was unlucky in-running at Bellewstown last time while Dancing Rebel also failed to obtain a clear run at a crucial stage at Navan. Lopes Gold found Listed company too much to handle at Fairyhouse though her earlier runs put her in the frame but Keel Bay is looking vulnerable after two defeats in nurseries.
