Group 1-winning juvenile over C&D; returned from aborted stud career last year and won a 5f Listed race at Naas (good) and a C&D Group 3 (6f, good); fine third in the Group 1 Flying Five before failing to run to expectations at the Breeders' Cup; well below best on soft on seasonal debut at Cork; better over 5f at Naas, but needs more to make an impact here. |

Top class 2yo returned from aborted stud career last year and won a C&D Listed race (good) and a Curragh Group 3 (6f, good); fine third in the Group 1 Flying Five before a below-par run at the Breeders' Cup; soft ground not ideal for seasonal reappearance and better expected now; chance. |

Juvenile campaign ended with a success at the Breeders' Cup; only 1l behind Rosallion in French Group 1 the time before but was about 6l behind that rival in Irish 2,000 Guineas on reappearance and needs to have come on plenty for that run; yard also runs Henry Longfellow. |

Solid form in three Curragh runs, including when fifth in the Railway Stakes and stepped up to this trip in quite good style there nine days ago when running into another quality Ballydoyle colt; sets the standard on form and a leading contender. |

22-1 when fourth of five behind River Tiber on his Naas debut (5f, good) last month, but improved to win a conditions event at Tipperary (5f, good) nine days later; will need to step up again but that's quite possible and he shouldn't be passed over at all lightly. |

Bungle Inthejungle colt missed the break on Naas debut nine days ago but showed some promise in a winners' race; out quickly again and respected for connections which saddled a Group 3 winning 2yo at the weekend. |

Highly tried at two after winning a maiden on debut; last three runs have been in small-field conditions races over 7f; needs to raise his game in first-time cheekpieces. |

Highly tried at two; bang there the last twice in 7f events, though couldn't make the most of an easy lead here last time when reeled in by one who was rated 79 at the time; likely to need more here. |

His trainer mentioned this race as a target after he was pushed out to justify favouritism comfortably on his 5f Naas debut (good to yielding) at the beginning of May; looks at least useful and could play a part. |
