SHARESTAN is entered in three Group races within the next month and is obviously held in high regard after his convincing debut victory at the Curragh. Freedom had Forever Glory in second when landing a Curragh maiden and the runner-up scored at Leopardstown on Thursday. Kevin Manning is likely to ensure a strong pace on Flowers Of Spring, who has won over 1m4f and ran very well over that trip at Cork last time. The classy bumper Steps To Freedom made a polished debut under Flat Rules over 1m6f at Leopardstown though whether he'll have the pace for this is another matter.
