Engles Rock has finished second over 5f and 6f in three runs to date but she’s never raced on ground this quick before and doesn’t look particularly well drawn. Alfons Walde was behind Man Of The Sea and Vhagar at Leopardstown but may well reverse the form over this extra furlong, though is also drawn high. KESTREL PRINCE comes out of stall three and Ger Lyons’ Lethal Force gelding, a €42,000 yearling would not need to be a world-beater to make a winning debut in a race like this – his dam was placed over this trip as a juvenile. Dash To Celebrate will have found 5f too sharp at Dundalk in March and is worth a market check.
