Spin Point has a lot more to do than when landing a Gowran handicap by a short-head but this longer trip should bring about more improvement and he's likely to prove better than an 82-rated handicapper. INTRANSIVE (NAP) was progressive in his first campaign but didn't reappear until Killarney last month when he travelled well until tiring close home. He's a well-connected type who should go on to better things, starting here. Nebulla looks a danger after a fine effort in a premier handicap at the Curragh where he found the 1m2f on the short side and his lightly-raced stablemate Blue Paraiba will find this less daunting that the Listed company she ran in at Leopardstown. Shadagann is just 3lb higher than when landing a very strong handicap at the Curragh in June and has since won over hurdles.
