DANCE EMPEROR (NAP) was on a hat-trick when only third behind today's rival Plum Perfect over an extended mile at Galway. However, he had to be brought wide in the straight and made strong late headway so the revised terms and longer trip can see him back on the winning trail. Loingseoir was also on a three-timer when well beaten over 1m4f at Limerick and is probably better over this trip while Stormy Jenn lost her maiden tag in impressive fashion at Gowran but has been raised a massive 14lb. Supreme Machine would be an obvious candidate if getting a run after beating the in-form Ten Ten Twenty at Cork.
