Raphael ended the last campaign with an impressive victory over a mile at Naas and, though 8lb higher, should be winning again soon. Arcanears is tackling the trip for the first time but wasn't stopping over 6f at the Curragh and has been given a chance by the assessor. My Mystique enjoyed the fast ground when carrying a big weight to victory at Gowran, when Lyfka was three lengths behind, so wouldn't want any more rain but MAKE A CHALLENGE appears to act on any going and impressed over the course and distance a couple of weeks ago. His young rider can use his claim again and Denis Hogan's charge can complete a double. Festina Plente has only had one run on Turf but has been going well at Dundalk and looks on a fair mark.
