Hyperlapse didn't make the expected progress after his first two runs and has been gelded over the winter. Sandaryann didn't appreciate heavy going when runner-up at Cork and should do better on this surface but a chance is taken on the fitness of MING. Joseph O'Brien's son of Pour Moi is a half-brother to seven winners and should be ideally suited by this trip on his debut. Twenty Minutes is another who hated the testing ground at Cork last month having run much better here in December.
