Sir Erec has a smart middle-distance pedigree and is certain to attract support on his debut but STILL STANDING gave notice of an imminent victory when staying on strongly over 7f at Leopardstown and will take some beating. Lone Voice made a very encouraging debut at Gowran and was nowhere near his best at Navan so should get into the action while Jonjo Stack's newcomer Queen Rabab is related to five winners and is one to note in the market.
