Bronze Age was only just behind Sunday Smart at Limerick and though unable to cope with Castrogiovanni at Fairyhouse it was still a very good run. BETSEY TROTTER had no answer to Dramatically over the track and trip last time but the winner has since run well in a Group 3 so the form looks strong enough for this. Early Call was well beaten on his only start over this trip but has run better over the minimum in his last two starts. Art Of America found a mile too far at Gowran while Sagittarius Rising was behind Bronze Age at Fairyhouse.
