TONKIN, who is by Camelot, was a 25/1 chance when making his debut at Killarney but ran a fine race behind the smart Kew Gardens and should have no problems confirming the form with fourth-placed Dawn Hoofer, who already had experience. Bronagh's Belle looked ready for a step-up to this trip at Gowran but Taylor Velvet was well beaten on heavy going at Roscommon. Dermot Weld's yard is back firing on all cylinders after a virus-plagued period so Harbour Approach, a half-brother to four winners, is definitely one to keep an eye on.
