Belmont Avenue made a very promising debut at Cork and started favourite for a Curragh maiden in September but never really got going. Golden Lyric showed potential in her first campaign and though having no answer to Baton Rouge when attempting to make all at Dundalk the winner is probably quite smart. His stable is represented here by COUNTY WICKLOW, who is by War Front out of a Group 2 winner. He has no fancy entries but looks to have been found a winnable opportunity. Lady Barrington is by Camelot out of a 6f winner and may prove best of the remainder.
