Starry Heavens probably went off too quickly here last time and wears cheekpieces today. NATION’S CALL didn’t find as much off the bridle as expected in a handicap at the Curragh latest but still finished four lengths ahead of Mr Lincoln, who is worse off at the weights. Compensations awaits for Dermot Weld’s charge even though Leopardstown maiden winner Bella Blue Eyes has every chance at the weights. Sea Chariot looks up against it on these terms.
