DRAGON'S DEN looked a certain future winner when just touched off by Mianach on fast ground at Wexford last month where he just failed to hold the winner after attempting to make all. He had Walter De La Mare just behind on that occasion and had also finished in front of that rival on his previous start. There was plenty to like about the determined attitude of Gypsy Rose at Clonmel and she looks a real threat. Kevin Prendergasts's filly stayed on strongest to snatch the spoils over that 1m2f and today's longer trip looks ideal and she's only 5lbs higher. One For Joules improved on previous form when stepped up to this trip for the first time at Roscommon but will need to make further progress to get competitive.
