Cardinal Rule belied his 33/1 SP with a good run over the trip at Navan and like Classify, who will be wearing a visor after his debut at Tipperary, will have come on for the experience. Ger Lyons' horses are in good form and SLIABH AUGHTY did enough when chasing home subsequent Group 3 winner Sena Star over 7f here to earn the vote as he was only beaten a neck. Thames River made a very promising start behind Now The King over 7f here a fortnight ago where he was staying on at the finish while Our Shakila has a very similar profile. Stinglikeabee should find a race soon though probably in a handicap.
