Eminence returned to action in a Leopardstown handicap which he won with authority but jockey bookings suggest he's not the Ballydoyle pick. Turnberry Isle also reappeared in handicap company and was by no means given a hard time and he's expected to do much better. South Pacific only just got up in a Naas maiden last month and takes on better company but Millswyn drops in class after finding Group 3 company much too hot at Leopardstown. MOURIYANI made a successful debut at Dundalk, narrowly beating today's rival Pearlman despite running green. The runner-up franked the form next time so Dermot Weld's colt can continue his upward curve and take this before tackling bigger things.
