Stormy Oscar made a fair debut behind Incas Article at Clonmel and though that race hasn't worked out too well there looks plenty more to come. ALEXANDR NEVSKY travelled nicely throughout on his debut at Sligo and didn't fade until the closing stages. He'll have learnt plenty from that and is given the nod. Ascende wasn't suited by the slow gallop at Galway and a quicker pace would help while Life's Music ran well for a 33/1 chance at Limerick and is another who could have done with a stronger gallop. Dabari and Great Work are interesting newcomers with the pedigrees to do well here.
