Daredevil Day won at Killarney a fortnight ago and a hike in the weights is cancelled out by an apprentice’s 10lb allowance. Windsor Beach won at Leopardstown last month and was second back at the same track last time. He gets first-time blinkers today but will do well to confirm latest running with third-placed JAQEN H’GHAR as Joseph O’Brien’s colt will be sharper for that comeback run and should go very close. Little Prairie posted a better effort over track and trip last time and Bridle Path finished closer at the Curragh just three days ago but Shinghari has not progressed as expected and has a bit to prove now.
