Aztec Parade was unfancied on his debut at Leopardstown ten days ago but belied his odds with a fine effort behind a short-priced Ballydoyle inmate. EDWARD HOPPER wasn't beaten far in his last two starts last summer and was well supported on his reappearance in a Leopardstown Listed contest a fortnight ago. He didn't run as well as expected there but should have come on enough for the run to get off the mark. Lake Sand was staying on over an extended 6f at Limerick a week ago so the trip will suit while Line Judge was mugged on the line over 7f at Gowran and looks certain to make a bold bid.
