Jim Bolger has won two of the last three of these and though Thia disappointed at Roscommon he's one to note on his nursery debut after being gelded. Nika Pika and Guest Star fought out the finish of a Navan maiden claimer and there's nothing between them again at the weights though this looks tougher. The latter's yard is also represented by Pomeriggio, who has been staying on over slightly shorter. SUN NEVER SETS (NAP) has finished behind Asian Daze the last twice, the latest in a 7f Curragh nursery where she was running on. She gets the nod though Basilah Bear has been showing plenty of ability and can get involved.
