Caernarfon placed in a Listed race at Pontefract recently and should have the measure of Chelsea Green, Rose Prick and Enola Grey on these terms. But Dermot Weld doesn’t waste journeys across the Irish Sea and KEEP IN TOUCH (NAP) looks to have strong claims. The latter was beaten less than a length in Group 3 company at the Curragh last time and the runner-up subsequently went close in a Group 1 contest in France. Conservationist is a novice winner at Haydock with Ryan Moore taking over the reins while Dream Of Love, Queen Fleur and Sisyphus Strength are all maiden winners representing powerful yards.
