Tonkinese looked a smart prospect when landing the odds at Leopardstown and got no sort of run in the Chesham Stakes at Ascot, though he wouldn't have won. WHISKEY SOUR looked well suited to soft conditions when landing a maiden at Galway so today's ground is in his favour and he can go in again. Corstorphine made all at Leopardstown, though the ground was very quick, and Taisce Naisiunta takes a drop in class after competing at Listed level since her debut victory on soft going here. Jefferson Davis easily won a Killarney nursery last week for which he's penalised though that shouldn't prevent another big run and he looks a real threat.
