Dawn Session was only beaten half-a-length in a big field at Leopardstown when returning from almost a year on the sidelines but has had only eight days to recover. Voice Of Reason was beaten a similar distance when third on debut here last August but there will be some long faces if UP AND UNDER fails to get off the mark back in a maiden. The Lope De Vega colt has a host of fancy entries and has placed in a couple of Group 3 races already this season. His stablemates, Catani Gardens and Trustyourinstinct, are making their racecourse debuts and are best watched unless the market suggests otherwise.
