FormscanBy Tom Weekes - FRANKINCENSE is a very well bred type who might be able to show some progression from an encouraging hurdles debut at Tramore last month and win here. He showed just average ability on the flat when trained by Aidan O'Brien and while he is clearly limited, ran well behind a Listed Bumper winning stablemate at Tramore. He should improve from that run and looks likely to figure at the business end today. Moment In History is another son of Galileo and is an interesting debutante. He was formerly in the care of Aidan O'Brien but never ran, and while he is out of a Group 1 winning dam and is closely related to other Group winners, he might be best watched on his belated debut today. Ciao has proven flat form and while she also makes her hurdles debut here, should get today's trip and could also go close here. Rips Dream is similarly capable on the flat, also makes his hurdles debut and is another who should wins races, possibly in time, over hurdles.
