Caesar's Song, a bumper winner at Limerick in May, was sent into Listed company for his debut on the flat and didn't perform badly before just touched off by False Economy at Listowel. Dreamy Gent has won five times over jumps and though a maiden on the level he's produced some very good efforts and has the benefit of Nina Carberry in the saddle. Huckle Buckle Shoe landed a bumper at Kilbeggan a year ago and though not seen since winning a maiden over timber at Wexford in October his trainer is the ideal man to get one ready after a break. Island Oscar could prove a threat under Derek O'Connor as this dual bumper runner-up landed a maiden hurdle at Killarney in May and looks on the upgrade. SWIFTMARC looks the one to be on as he scored twice over timber before an excellent short-head second to Fantasy King over today's C&D. He loves fast ground and will get plenty of assistance from the saddle.
