It may prove best to stick with experience here as KEEPER'S HEART made a very promising debut at Naas and the third has subsequently won easily. Benvoy made a nice start at Navan and there's more to come while Nine Lives didn't appreciate heavy ground when well supported at Tipperary. The latter's yard is also represented by Cherry Wild, who is by Australia out of a mare who has produced nine winners. Puente Romano and Presence are others newcomers to note.
