NORWALK HAVOC failed to build on his reappearance effort when nearer last than first in a major Galway handicap at the end of July, but he will have strong prospects if able to get back on track here. Indeed, form such as his clear-cut Leopardstown success in this grade on his final appearance of last season would give him every chance. Evening Blossom could prove to be the pick of the Joseph O'Brien-trained trio.
