TATLISU has been a fine servant to the Fahey team, winning competitive sprint handicaps including an Ayr Silver Cup. He's been finding winning difficult lately but hopefully this easier grade will see him land a seventh success. Richard Fahey knows all about a major danger in Noah Amor as he trained the Kodiac gelding to land three sellers through the shrewdest of placements before the four-year-old moved to David O'Meara. Mishaal is dropped to this grade after a sequence of modest efforts but a return to his best would see him in contention but the other three need to improve on recent runs.
