Both Kylecrue and Aurora Bell were engaged in the 2.40 here yesterday. Laid Back Luke is inconsistent but pops up every now and then and though Flemenstorm is much more consistent his best form is on ground with plenty of give. UNDRESSED was making his debut for Willie Mullins when a decent fourth in a much better race than this at Fairyhouse earlier this month. He's looking well enough treated these days and looks set to gain his third victory over fences. Sonny B has a course and distance victory to his credit but that was four years ago.
