MISSION CENTRAL was too green to do himself justice on his introduction at Dundalk during the spring and, likely to leave that form well behind here, he is taken to provide his yard with a fourth winner in this maiden since it was first staged in 2020. Stablemate Controlled could be the pick of the newcomers, while Watch Tower won't be far away if able to build on his debut promise.
