FormscanBy Tom Weekes - AESOP'S FABLES was below his best on his seasonal reappearance over today's course-and-distance last month but should benefit from the run. He hasn't won since landing the 2022 Futurity Stakes as a juvenile but has performed to a high level in sprints, finished third in the Breeders Cup Turf Sprint on firm ground last November and holds three rivals on previous form. The Highway Rat was race-fit when he beat the selection in that recent CD race but might struggle to confirm placings running in first-time cheekpieces today. Dun Na Sead progressed well last year and won a Dundalk Group 3 in October. It isn't ideal that she makes her seasonal reappearance against race-fit rivals but has Listed-placed turf form.
