LETHAL POWER improved from maiden company to place at Killarney before a promising fourth of 13 beaten 1¾L at the Curragh last month and can continue his improvement in this contest. The Jim Bolger-trained Dream Focus looks a progressive type and can improve on his second at Killarney last month and can battle for a place with intriguing newcomers Tarasila, High Mounte and Shringara worth a market check.
