Dual hurdles winner Garrybello was staying on when making his debut on the track three weeks ago when Gran Caballo was sixth. The latter did not get going until the race was over and much better is expected. Squire Danagher makes his debut on the surface after a promising run over 1m2f at Navan but NEW PHENOMENON was a very good third in what looked a strong maiden earlier this month and this looks a good opportunity to get off the mark.
