DRAGON OF MALTA is back on a good mark and is taken to build on last month's back-to-form third at Killarney. Secret Magician and Speckled Meadow, the mount of Billy Lee, will need things to drop right from their wide draws but shaped well last time and make the shortlist along with Conor O'Dwyer's Limerick scorer Lady Arwen.
