Verdict

Sir William Bruce started favourite on his reappearance over 1m2f at Naas but already looked in need of further and a better run is expected. Riding arrangements suggest he's the stable pick over Iowa but the latter's regular pilot Seamie Heffernan switches to Druk, whom he rode into third at Gowran last month. Both were behind Soaring Sky at Limerick a couple of weeks ago where MACADAM'S ROCK, Sassified and Lunar Power chased home the winner. The former was posting a career-best that day and Colin Keane can steer him one place better this time. Dunmain Power makes his handicap debut from the bottom of the weights and is one to note in the market.
