KEATS, by Galileo out of the brilliant Airwave, is related to numerous smart winners and made such a big impression on his debut at the Curragh that he started odds-on when sent to Newmarket in October. However, he proved very disappointing and was well beaten but that can't have been his form and he gets a chance to put matters right. Kells, another son of Galileo out of a USA Grade 1 winner, was a former stable companion of the selection and has moved to Jessica Harrington. He only performed moderately in his two maidens last summer and will need to improve markedly. Mosala will be better for last week's run here, his first for almost a year, while Frank Arthur looked in need of experience at Leopardstown in October and this should be his optimum trip. Airlift couldn't get involved over 7f at Dundalk after a slow start but stayed on nicely.
