Joseph O'Brien has three entries with Ship Of Dreams looking the pick after a nice introduction over a mile last month where she didn't get going until the race was over. She'll have come on a bundle for the experience and should get into the frame. Kareva and Bonnie Baugh have both had plenty of chances and look vulnerable to an improver such as Havana Go, a 20/1 chance on his debut at Leopardstown in July but who ran much better than expected. PORT LIONS has been unable to find a finishing burst when needed in his last two starts over the track and trip but has run well enough to suggest this should be his turn and he can finally get off the mark.
