CAUSEWAY has won both starts since his debut, justifying favouritism at Naas with a useful effort and is open to further improvement with this step up to 1m. Neolithic is feared most having won 2 from 3 since cheekpieces were applied with 1m expected to suit. Geryon was unsuited by 7f last time so better is expected here.

Won both starts since debut, progressing from maiden to handicap company, justifying favouritism at Naas over 7f (13/8F) in March, a useful effort. Wearing cheekpieces for the first time, the step up to 1m looks sure to suit (bred to stay further) and he looks the one to beat.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNaas7fSoft (Soft to Heavy in places )Flat1/13Curragh7fSoft to HeavyFlat1/13Gowran Park1mHeavy (Soft in places)Flat4/9- 6(5)NeolithicJ: W.

Has improved since cheekpieces were applied (2 from 3), including a third in Listed race in March followed by winning at Gowran Park (10/11) 26 days ago, beating Greek Mythology. Gives the impression that the step up to 1m will suit.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosGowran Park7fSoftFlat1/4Curragh7fSoft to HeavyFlat3/10Naas5f 205yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/8Listowel6f 60yGood to Yielding (Yielding in Places)Flat7/14Curragh6fGoodFlat8/14- 3(4)GeryonJ: G.

Second over this C&D in Group 2 company last September, but only fourth of 11 in a Group 3 at Leopardstown (17/2) 22 days ago, unsuited by the drop to 7f, so should be better suited back at 1m.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLeopardstown7f 42yGood to Yielding (Yielding in places)Flat4/11Curragh1mYielding to SoftFlat2/5Curragh7fGoodFlat2/5Curragh7fGoodFlat1/10- 1(6)AndabJ: Declan McDonoghT: Joseph Patrick O'Brien, Ireland4621-23Age 37/17/113/2

Improved on 2-y-o form when runner-up in a Group 2 at Doha in February but failed to confirm that improvement when third of 7 in a substandard listed race at Newcastle (7/4F) in April. First-time cheekpieces on return to turf, likely to find one or two too good.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewcastle1m 5yStandardFlat3/7Doha (qatar)7f 210yGood to FirmFlat2/10Dundalk7fStandardFlat1/8Deauville6f 211yGood to softFlat2/7Goodwood7fGoodFlat6/10- 8(8)Take Charge StarJ: Ben Martin CoenT: John Patrick Murtagh, Ireland316-2Age 310/110/111/1
