It's difficult to gauge the riding arrangements of the Ballydoyle team at present but the hugely-expensive Sing Softly, who had a sighter at Dundalk in October, may be straighter than Colm O'Donoghue's mount Sun Queen at this stage. Rose Bonheur just failed to catch Stage Master over the C&D in September, failing by a short-head, and suffered a similar defeat on a return visit by History Note. Lechevelier Choisi was just a neck behind in the first of those races but already had experience and may not be capable of reversing the form. ANDERIEGO had the experienced Edenshaw three lengths behind when making a promising start behind Ruling at Naas and should have benefited enough to make a winning start to the campaign. Newcomers Chamberofcommerce and Awareness should be watched for any market moves.
