Silk Cravat wasn't beaten far in handicaps at Sandown and Newmarket when in the care of Simon Crisford and Ger Lyons should have him ready for his first start for new connections. However, the race fitness of MA FEE HEELA may prove too much for him at this stage as he was heavily supported to make a successful debut at Naas but found Alphabet too strong then found a mile taxing his stamina at Leopardstown. This should prove ideal and he can get off the mark. Reimagine hasn't shown much in two starts so Mirror Man may snatch a place as he'll be better for his run on soft ground at Gowran where he was in touch for a long way.
