DELTA DAWN found only odds-on stablemate Emperor Of The Sun too good at Galway last time and should be winning soon at this level. He’s preferred to Aidan O’Brien’s other runner Celtic High King, who makes his racecourse debut along with Camorra and Yulong Pearlisland. The latter is a brother to a winner and Shane Foley rides having partnered the latter’s stable companion Grey Serge at Gowran last time. Brilliant Question has shown little so far and the other newcomers are preferred to Gracias Madre.
