Royal Admiral was in the lead at this trip when tackling similar company here a fortnight ago but couldn't hold Bittersweet, who was receiving 9lb, over the extra furlong. He looks certain to go well again while Bustam should be monitored in the betting as he had some decent form for John Quinn in the UK. Daubney's Dream produced his best run to date when a close third in a Curragh handicap and goes on the shortlist but Joseph O'Brien complicates matter with two entries. Dream Point takes a big drop in trip after a very good run in a Navan handicap over an extended 1m2f while Lady Godiva started favourite in Royal Admiral's race here but found the mile stretching her stamina after looking a possible winner at this trip. DUBAI RAINBOW (NAP) is the least exposed of these and showed real potential when runner-up to North Face at Navan. The winner has a Group 2 entry so Eddie Lynam's charge can go one better, especially as the last two winners have also been drawn one.
