Though VELVET SKIES failed to progress when fifth of 11 on his first run in a nursery at the Curragh, that was a respectable effort nonetheless, particularly bearing in mind that he was 4 lb 'wrong' at the weights. Able to race off his correct mark here and likely to benefit from the return to this trip, he could be the answer. Expecto wasn't disgraced at Killarney last time and may emerge as the main danger ahead of Poppadom.
