Bosstime started favourite when runner-up on his debut in January and was made a long odds-on chance on a return visit three weeks later but couldn't cope with the 25/1 chance Undecided. The winner has been well beaten since as has the third so the form looks moderate. It's hard to know what to make of Duarte Fernandes, a half-brother to a Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies winner, as he finished last on his belated debut on soft ground at Cork in June. LEAN AND KEEN had been running well on this track at the backend of last year and will have found 6f on testing ground at the Curragh against him on his reappearance last month. He looks worth another chance in what looks a moderate contest. Jackamo had a run out in a soft-ground bumper in January so what he'll make of a mile on Polytrack is anyone's guess. Barbeque is making her belated debut and only cost 800 euros as a two-year-old.
