Free Solo, a course and distance winner, has been placed twice at Listed level but Shane Foley prefers ACE AUSSIE (NAP). Beaten just over a length by Poetic Flame over 7f here last month, the form could hardly have worked out better with the winner going on to glory in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket.

Maker Of Kings had been in excellent form in handicaps before beaten when odds-on in a conditions race at Tipperary while Bowerman, who landed a lucrative race in Doha in February, wasn't right when last over 1m2f in a Curragh Group 3 next time.
