JOHN STEINBECK (10) represents leading connections. Profiles well on paper being a son of Dubawi from G3 winner Coolmore. Likely player. THEQUIETMAN (16) placed second on heavy going when resuming at Leopardstown over 1m prior to a fair Galway fifth. Open to further improvement. SILENT GUARDIAN (14) shaped well debuting with a third in a 1m maiden at Cork. Likely to build on that effort. Holds claims. ISEULT OF IRELAND (21) has indicated promise and warrants a second look.
