Brazil was well supported for his debut at Navan but didn't appear to enjoy the soft ground. He'll have come on markedly for the experience and jockey bookings suggest he's ahead of the newcomer Sir William Bruce at this stage. FERNANDO VICHI failed by a nose to catch Los Andes in that Navan contest, staying on strongly in the closing stages. He can make that experience count and get off the mark. Sword Zorro was unfancied and finished third of four at Fairyhouse while Fight Zone takes a big step-up in trip after a fair debut over 6f at the Curragh. Benaud and Vocito are well-connected newcomers in an interesting maiden.
