Johnny Murtagh's presence on SPONTANEOUS speaks volumes, especially as Ballydoyle are represented by Freedom and Fairylike, who both appear to have chances. Frank Dunne's filly is bred in the purple being a full sister to Youmzain and related to other very useful performers. She made an eye-catching debut behind the O'Brien-trained Eirnin over this C&D a couple of weeks ago and with improvement guaranteed she can take this. Stable Bank made a fair debut at Dundalk last week and anytime Jim Bolger brings one out quickly he means business though the picks on form are Alayir, a decent third in a strong race at the Curragh, and Midnight Music, who showed plenty of promise behind two useful opponents at the Curragh in August.
