Lil Grey couldn't quite get to grips in the Albany Stakes but had looked a nice prospect when scoring here earlier. Real Appeal, a Listed winner in France, finished last on his debut for Jim Bolger in the Norfolk Stakes and can do better while Roman Turbo gained a shock victory on his debut here last month and can only get better. Between Hills beat a decent yardstick in Erlking at Listowel while Soul Search came up against a potentially useful filly in Love at Leopardstown last week. The winner's yard is represented by Mount Fuji, a winner at Cork before struggling in the Norfolk Stakes, and PISTOLETTO, who looked certain to be suited by this trip when battling on over the minimum at Naas and gets the nod.
