Awesome Star showed potential in both runs but his yard is yet to get going and though Highly Toxic would be the form pick on his run in a Group 3 last May he finished lame on his only subsequent start later that month and hasn't been seen since. Neverushacon ran over hurdles at Punchestown in November and will probably do better in that sphere but Ceylon must be a threat to all after her excellent form in late summer where she was narrowly beaten three times on ground similar to today's. KALEEFA (NAP) began her career last March with a narrow defeat at Leopardstown and didn't reappear until October where she could only stay on at one pace over 1m1f. She's by Sinndar out of a mare related to Kalanisi so this is more like her trip and she can start making up for lost time.
