After finishing a close third behind Capri in the Group 2 Beresford Stakes at the Curragh in September, EXEMPLAR was rated 110. He reappeared in the Dante at York but never really got going and is given a chance to put matters right at this lower level. Glamorous Approach completed a double by landing a Listed event on soft ground at the Curragh and may have found the going too quick when a close third in a Cork Group 3 last time. Flying Fairies and Sea Swift were both just behind in that latter event though neither had the run of the race and should finish closer. Renneti, a Grade 2 winner over hurdles at Fairyhouse in April, is very useful on the level though prefers some cut in the ground.
