CLEARWATER BAY went to Dundalk a couple of weeks ago as the shortest-priced of an Aidan O'Brien-trained trio but failed to see off his much more experienced stablemate Lastofthemohicans. He stayed on under pressure from the rear and today's extra furlong will be a bonus. Perfect Gemstone had every chance behind Tillahow at Leopardstown and will need to find a finishing burst but Stephen's Green looked certain to appreciate further when running on strongly over 1m2f there earlier this month and looks a big threat. Regreas A Mi has run two fair races in handicaps and is by no means out of this.
