A huge field of maidens but it's difficult to look beyond the claims of APACHE. The Ballydoyle colt didn't please everyone with an unorthodox head carriage when runner-up to Best Hello at Leopardstown and his breeding suggests a longer trip may be required but he has the best overall form and gets the vote. Sportsmaster is another who looks destined for longer trips in the future after staying on strongly behind Secretsubstitute at Roscommon and the four-year-old Irish Review should do better here after a promising effort over a mile at Cork. If there's to be a surprise it may come from one of the newcomers. No Such Number is closely related to three winners and his dam, a winner over 1m2f, is from the family of Warning and Commander In Chief.
