FIRST WAVE looked unsuited by the drop back down to 7f when third in a Dundalk maiden (7f) 33 days ago but he's shown enough to think a race of this nature is within reach and, with the return to 1m promising to suit, he can get off the mark. Pierre Royal is an intriguing newcomer and feared, with Daler others to consider.
