The Aidan O'Brien-trained BRAZIL can improve on debut run at Navan last month where the Galileo disappointed as the 13/8f. The juvenile can get the better of the Johnny Murtagh-trained Skilled Warrior, who is likely to improve on pleasing debut at Gowran Park last month. Grid for trainer Joseph O'Brien, together with newcomers Eternal Flame, Jack Duggan and Forbes should make for a promising maiden.
