Stellar Mass got his head in front for the first time when tackling this trip at the Curragh where he enjoyed the fast ground. Lieutenant General has generally competed at a higher level including when a close third in a Listed contest last time so he'll appreciate the drop in class. ZALFANA was around two and a half lengths behind in that latter event and is only 1lb better off but that was her first start since October and she's taken to reverse the form and land this. Ed Dunlop sends Manjaam over from Newmarket and he looked as though he could score again after a comfortable victory at Bath on fast going.
