DAWN MIRAGE (NAP) looks well treated. He had an official mark of 81 when making all for a comfortable success at Gowran and starts off in handicaps off a mark of 80. Ibergman looks a threat as she was having just her fifth start when scoring over the track and trip at the Festival and looks certain to make further progress. The lightly-raced Best Not Argue wasn't far behind in that latter race and stayed on stoutly so she can get closer while Baby Dinnis found an extended 1m1f too far at Gowran after scoring at Leopardstown.
