Previous racecourse experience is so often beneficial for these young horses, and the strong suspicion is that will once more prove to be the case here; albeit with only synthetics form to go upon.
THE IRISH ROVER wasn't at all knocked about in finishing a close up third to Skitter Scatter at Dundalk last month, and that form has been well advertised by his stablemate Sergei Prokofiev, who absolutely bolted up on his next start at Navan.
Vikivaki can also be expected to improve from her Newcastle debut (Conditions Stakes), but even in receipt of her 5lb sex allowance from the Aidan O'Brien trained runner, she might just be found wanting.
