Boxer Dunford is related to a couple of winning juveniles and looks best of Johnny Murtagh's pair as Donn Abha was tailed off on his debut. Mizen Master was staying on over a mile at Killarney so today's conditions should suit but Spruce Meadows has only shown moderate form on fast going and Polytrack. COLONEL MAXIMUS was a 25/1 chance on his debut over this trip at Gowran but belied his odds with an eye-catching run. The experience won't be lost on him and he looks the one to be on as Silvercups looks nothing special on breeding and will probably do better over further in time.
