Most of those with experience have been looking quite moderate though some are unexposed. Auckland comes into the first category having made little impression on his reappearance at Leopardstown though quicker ground could bring about some improvement. Time Dee was staying on over this trip at Dundalk in October and should do better this season though the vote goes to TREATY OF VIENNA. Jim Bolger's New Approach colt had a run in a strong maiden at the Curragh in September and though eventually well beaten showed up nicely for a long way. The Frankel filly Frima is a half-sister to a couple of winners and could prove best of the newcomers.
