Aidan O'Brien could hold the key to this with the once-raced FORT SAM HOUSTON and newcomer Wimpole Street. The former looked in need of the run when third to long odds-on stablemate Camelot at Leopardstown and should have come on enough to take this though the well-connected Wimpole Street is definitely one to keep an eye on for the future. Outback ran a superb race behind Ballydoyle's Daddy Longlegs at Gowran and is an obvious threat if making normal progress while Dazzling Pearl showed ability at Roscommon despite missing the break.
