FERNAO was no match for Arniemac, rated 89, when second at Killarney but gets another chance in this company. God Knows finished behind the selection but represents last year’s winning yard and can finish closer this time while both Unterberg and Dream Escape took a step forward with better efforts last time. Something may have been amiss with the more-exposed Maggie And Me at Gowran and blinkers are fitted here.
