David Wachman reaches for a visir for Know, who found little in a Curragh nursery last month when well supported. Zebgrey's close fourth in a Tipperary Listed contest would be good enough though she's been disappointing in two subsequent starts. Blood Moon looked as though he needed another furlong when staying on over the minimum in a Group 3 at the Curragh last time while stablemate Birdcage has been looking one-paced. SHRILL made a successful debut on soft ground before a very good run in a Listed contest at Tipperary. She found the ground too soft when sent to Newbury last time so today's conditions and lower-class opposition can see her return to winning ways.
