Previously a maiden winner over 7f on Polytrack at Dundalk, this sound surface could make all the difference for the son of Kingman who is well drawn for one who likes to race prominently. Starliner made a pleasing seasonal debut when a place in front of the selection here in April and the Listowel maiden winner can contend if coming forward from that. Soldier's Empire is another all-weather maiden winner and returns from seven months off.. Connections expect him to improve at three and his opening mark could be exploitable.%0A
