Clashaniska made a promising start in a huge field at the Curragh and didn't quite get the run of the race over this track and trip next time. Erich Bloch has been headed close home over 7f and an extended 5f on this track and looks certain to get into contention though the vote goes to NATIONAL GUARD. The Ballydoyle colt has been running in nurseries and was staying on strongly over the minimum at Dundalk and this looks his trip. Roger That is a half-brother to three winners and his yard continues in sparkling form so he can do best of the newcomers.
