Versilia Gal and Toccata Blue finished close up behind Verbal Honesty over the C&D last month and both will have benefited from the experience. The former just came out on top but it would be no great surprise if Johnny Murtagh's mount were to reverse the form. Jim Bolger's newcomer Einsteins Folly has plenty of pace in his pedigree and his yard continue to fire in the winners but DYLANBARU looks the one to be on. Tommy Stack's charge made his debut in the first juvenile turf race of the season at the Curragh and ran a fine race behind Dawn Approach. With improvement guaranteed he should be good enough.
