Urban Beat is clear top rated here and is greatly respected on the balance of form in strong company, though there's a good chance BRUNELLE can go higher than her mark of 91. Ger Lyons' filly, who won two of her first three starts last year, will be better for her run in a Naas Listed contest in June. Back To Brussels ran a cracking race behind Glen Shiel in a Curragh Group 3 which is why he was long odds-on at Cork where he duly obliged. Alfredo Arcano is 8-21 around here and looks to have every chance while Alligator Alley only has a couple of pounds to make up on official ratings having finished second in a Naas Listed contest in June. Geological is a standing dish around here though has never won over the trip.
