Plenty in with chances, Santiago de Cuba is a fair starting point having run well behind Mengli Khan in a big-field maiden at Navan in September. His claims are there to see whilst the long-absent Come To Me must be noted for the Mullins team having won a bumper here on sole start. The verdict though rests with DAYBREAK BOY, who showed a decent level of ability in three starts over hurdles already and the 90-rated Flat performer should improve on better ground now. Duc D'Allier, Pass Hymn and Turbine all have their merits.
- Daybreak Boy
- Come To Me
- Santiago de Cuba
