Plenty of these showed promise in their opening campaigns including Kailash, who had the misfortune to come up against Ballydoyle inmates in his last three starts. He had Hell Bent 2 lengths behind when a close third to Sir Lucan at Cork though the winner was making his debut and has every chance of reversing the form. TEAM OF FIRSTS was very unlucky to come up against the expensive Frankel colt Taipan, at Naas in November, only succumbing close home in heavy ground. He's bred for this trip and further and can get off the mark. Xeres will be winning soon judging by his three runs over a mile while Skilled Warrior found 7f too short at Dundalk last month.
