TESSERACT looks a real find for J P McManus and Aidan O'Brien and can add to his comprehensive victories here and at Bellewstown with Sarah O'Brien's claim again reducing his extra weight. Fu's Island showed the benefit of her run at Gowran by sluicing home over 2m4f at Limerick and looks a nice prospect for jumping. Closer To You was beaten a long way in that latter event and looks well held.
