BLACK TONIC shaped well on his second start for this yard at Kilbeggan a fortnight ago, leaving the strong impression that he would be well-served by this step up in trip. He makes a fair bit of appeal now faced with a stiffer test off the same mark. The consistent Hard Target looks sure to be involved and is next on the list ahead of Galmar and Man After Midnight.
