COLFER ME for the Joseph O'Brien yard won here over 1m last month off a 10lb lower mark, comfortably staying on in the closing stages and looks one to progress even further here at the expense of the Mick Halford-trained C&D winner Sky Seven who landed a 7f maiden in December and looks a bright prospect. The Swiss Spirit colt Swissterious can follow the main protagonists home on his first start for new connections.
