Centroid is a half-brother to Enable and is worth another try over this longer trip having had just the four career starts. Buckman Tavern will have benefited from a pipe-opener at the Curragh and Tony Martin also runs Leopardstown third Share The Honour. Contrapposto could go well at bigger odds as he continues to slip down the ratings but On The Balcony is racing beyond 1m2f for the first time. Legal Spin, on the other hand, needs further. WAJAAHA went up 12lb after bolting up at Limerick last month and couldn’t quite cope at the Curragh nine days ago. However, that was a race for lady riders and, reunited here with Sean Davis, Charles Byrnes’ dual purpose gelding can recoup losses granted luck in-running from his high draw.
