MINACH is progressing at a rate of knots and follwed a promising reappearance over a mile at Dundalk with a cracking run behind the in-form Ghetto Gospel over 1m2f at Navan. He's been raised 9lbs without winning which won't please connections but looks capable of overcoming the extra burden. Dragon's Den also came up against an in-form rival when a good fourth to Book Of Numbers here two weeks ago. That was his first run since October and he can race from the same mark here. Rightside disappointed in a nursery after landing her maiden but Quarton looks a threat as he was noted staying on nicely behind Leah Claire over 1m2f at the Curragh earlier this month but has been given a chance by the handicapper off a 2lbs lower mark.
