Prosecution is 1-29 and has never been placed in six starts on the all-weather but had dropped to a lowly mark when beaten a length at the Curragh so has to be respected. Royal Admiral won over 7f on the sand at Laytown but didn't go as well over 1m4f here last time but Gougane Barra has won twice over a mile here and may not have been suited by 1m4f here last time. Michael Halford's charge doesn't look badly treated and should make a bold bid though FOR YOUR EYES (NAP), who made a very promising track debut when runner-up two weeks ago, wouldn't need to improve much to go one better so looks the one to be on.
