AURORA'S DREAM (NAP) had Maighnealta just over two lengths behind when they occupied the first two places over the track and trip last month, though may have been fortunate as a main rival made a hash of the last. The winner had a bit in hand at the line, however, and has since run out of steam over a longer trip at Tipperary so can confirm the form on slightly worse terms. Canova hasn't run since last July while stable companion Canny Tom couldn't quite keep up the gallop over a shorter trip at Ballinrobe on Thursday. Notimetoserve is better over fences but can race from a 12lb lower mark so has to be respected.
