YALE, who cost $1m, has only run three times scoring by a head in a Dundalk maiden in October. He starts out in handicaps off a mark of 74 and can start climbing the ranks. Lightning Charlie has won two from three at Dundalk since joining John Feane from the UK and he was racing from much higher marks on Turf last summer. Lequinto improved markedly in the spring, winning comfortably on the Polytrack in March, while Divine Covey showed some ability for Richard Hannon last summer. Fit For Function was in very good form at Dundalk in the spring and is just as adept on Turf.
