Galeola won three of her last four last summer and looks a smart staying handicapper in the making as she's only had seven runs. NUMEN (NAP), a very easy winner of a Leopardstown maiden, found stable companion Delphi too strong in a Listed contest back there and though high enough in the ratings can strike for the younger brigade here. Simply True scored over 1m2f at Naas and has yet to prove he stays as far as this but Centroid battled on strongly on soft ground at Galway and a 6lb rise doesn't look insurmountable. War Diary hasn't quite fulfilled expectations but it would be no surprise to see him bounce back while Aesop landed a 1m2f maiden at Leopardstown before a fine run over this trip in the Ulster Derby at Down Royal and is progressing fast enough to make his presence felt.
