Dermot Weld has won the last two of these and brings out SIGHT HOUND quickly after his short-head defeat by the more experienced Brown Bee at Clonmel on Thursday. A half-brother to three winners, he drifted when making his challenge through inexperience and should have learnt enough to go one better. Los Barbados started a short-priced favourite on his return to action at the Curragh and though running well enough couldn't find the extra to trouble his stablemate Sandro Botticelli. He'll improve for the run and looks a big threat. Both Newberry New and Novis Adventus have fair maiden form but are looking exposed and may have to wait for handicaps to get off the mark. Full Speed Ahead is a half-brother to four winners and one to keep an eye on in the market.
