QUOTE had her first start over this trip at the Curragh when just failing to hold Halimi. That was only her fifth start and she's entitled to improve while Zarafshan couldn't quite get to Sir Dragonet at Tipperary and is another likely to make further progress. Winning hurdler Hannon may find this on the short side but Geolai is an interesting newcomer being a sister to a winner over this trip. World Premier is another winning hurdler who may need further.
