A host in with chances but DONKEY YEARS progressed again when finishing runner-up to Defi Bleu at Fairyhouse 12 days ago and with that pair pulling well clear of the third, Eric McNamara's charge gets the verdict to turn the tables on his old rival with first-time cheekpieces applied here. Last-time-out winners Duc de Beauchene and Recite A Prayer are another couple that may feature.
