ALJADY was rated in the 100's when trained in the UK last year but had dropped to 90 on his debut for Denis Hogan in a handicap at the Curragh last month where he ran well on heavy ground. That will have brought him on and he looks the one to beat. The stable also run nine-times Turf winner Majestic Colt, who ran well in a similar race here a week ago. James McAuley is a past-master at claimers here and has five entries. Five-times track winner Eglish and Tai Sing Yeh have plenty to find in the ratings with stablemates, My Little Tip and Sunday Sovereign but are in better form. Inflection Point is on a long losing run but has won around here and may prove best of the remainder.
