Alpine Sierra is certain to improve from his run at Dundalk but Boulette has had plenty of chances. Haziya didn't enjoy heavy ground at Fairyhouse but has some improving to do as INTERPRETATION could prove much better than these. The Galileo colt is out of a dam from a top-class middle-distance family and showed enough potential behind a stablemate on heavy ground here in November to suggest he can win races this campaign. Anthem is a 300,000gns son of Australia and related to two winners up to a mile so should have a good blend of speed and stamina.
