INDIGO BREEZE was sent to Alnwick for his debut in March and came home virtually alone. He then went to Thurles for a bumper last month and had no problems landing the odds though it wasn't a great race. He'll probably be a warm order here and his trainer should know how he stands with Keskonrisk as he had the runner-up when Joseph O'Brien's new acquisition sauntered home in a bumper here on New Year's Day after which he went for £370,000 at the Doncaster Sales. The pair look smart recruits and it will be a surprise if anything gets near them. Still Standing, a very useful performer on the Flat with five victories, was only beaten a neck at Gowran last month but was soon done with after attempting to make all on softer ground at Down Royal. Gain De Cause is an interesting entry for J P McManus and Tony Martin as he's a half-brother to two winners in France.
