Nil Bua Gan Dua

9st 3lb

J: Ryan Moore

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Pitched into Group events twice as 2yo and it wasn't until his second start this term that he got off the mark (made all over 10.4f at Roscommon); 22-1, every chance through the final 2f when an excellent fourth of 16 on handicap debut at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) 19 days ago; longer trips than that now look well worth a go but he has the most to prove in this field, including with a bit to find on form.

Nil Bua Gan Dua

9st 3lb

J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Unraced on firmer than good; pitched into Group 2 and Group 3 events for minor roles on the last two of his three outings as 2yo; it wasn't until second start this term that he got off the mark (made all over 10.4f at Roscommon) and he had to knuckle down seriously, but that even-money success from a stablemate (who was 13th in Thursday's King George V) brings improved form into this much harder task for handicap debut.

Form & Verdict
Won a 7f Curragh maiden last June in his only race as a 2yo; twice second in small-field races but was beginning to look limited until producing a smart display to take second in the 1m2f Golden Gates Stakes (Handicap) at Royal Ascot; overtook Nil Bua Gan Dua in the closing stages and can emerge best in the rematch.

Amadeus Mozart

J: Ryan Moore

T: A P O’Brien

Won a 7f Curragh maiden last June in his only race as a 2yo; never dangerous in 1m2f Group 3 this May but useful form when second in small-field events over 1m2f/1m4f on starts either side (last time 7l behind Thursday's Listed second Endorsement); lightly raced but needs to show something new for a prominent finish on this handicap debut.

Made a winning debut in a 7f maiden at the Curragh last June; no match for Godolphin's Maho Bay in a novice event at Newmarket in April (winner a beaten favourite in the Lingfield Derby Trial on next start); looked in need of further when failing to make an impact in the 1m2f Gallinule Stakes won by stablemate Causeway.
