The three-year-old Evasive Power, a winner at Wolverhampton in December, was having his first start for new connections at Naas last weekend but was a long way behind TWENTY MINUTES, who was always travelling well and won readily. He's up 9lb but his rider can claim most of that back and a quick double looks on the cards. Aleef isn't the most consistent but would have to be considered on his latest run in a huge field at Naas while dual juvenile winner Bailly reappeared in a Cork Listed contest and will find this less demanding. Jedd O'Keefe sent Only Spoofing here to land a handicap off the same mark last summer so he's an obvious threat and Alfredo Arcano, three times a winner at Dundalk over the winter, was by no means disgraced in the All-Weather Sprint Championship at Lingfield.
