Sebastian Bach wasn't beaten far in any of his early runs last season though hasn't been seen since a moderate effort in a Galway nursery in July. ENEMY OF THE STATE came here for a maiden over the minimum trip in December and completely missed the break before running on close home. He looks the type to do much better and gets the vote in a race that shouldn't take much winning. Goodnite Irina was staying on nicely over 7f here last month so it's a surprise to see her dropping back in trip, a remark that also applies to Young Special, whose two runs to date have been over a mile. Shinko Princess produced one decent performance at Naas in between two moderate efforts at Leopardstown and makes her all-weather debut.
