Comfort Line has shown major improvement over the winter judging by his reappearance at Dundalk ten days ago when only just failing to match strides with Mythologic. EMIYN came here for his debut in November and caught the eye in what looked a very strong maiden so he's handed the vote. Lough Cutra also made a very promising start when runner-up at the Curragh on soft ground while Russian Emperor was going on strongly behind stable companion Iberia at the Curragh in July and the winner was placed at Group level later. Fraterculus, a brother to the useful Theobald, could prove best of Jim Bolger's pair while Dheisheh, a half-brother to five winners, and Isaiah, a son of Camelot, will know their jobs. Lobo Rojo's dam has produced winners with her first two foals to race so he's another to keep an eye on.
