Handel continues to run consistently in similar maiden company and his turn will come sooner or later. He has no issues with trip or ground and seems sure to be in contention once again, although he's been done no favours with his wide draw. In contrast, Sherkin Island has been dealt a lovely draw in stall two as long as he breaks well and looks another good chance for Dermot Weld after making a promising Curragh debut in late-May. Champion Green is back after showing promise on both juvenile runs but if ARCTICIAN, twice placed in Group company at two, is ready for a first start since August, then he sets a good standard back in maiden company.
