Ryan Moore is keeping faith with TELESCOPE and that's good enough for us. The Galileo colt can possibly be excused a couple of defeats by Noble Mission on soft ground this year. He won the Great Voltigeur over this trip on fast ground at York last year and a repeat of that effort would make him hard to beat. Stablemate Hillstar may be the danger. He sprang to prominence when landing the King Edward VII Stakes at this meeting last season and is another who will appreciate drying conditions. Sharestan, on the other hand, has shown his best form with plenty of give in the ground while this might be too tough for the versatile Forgotten Voice. Eye Of The Storm is better than he showed at Leopardstown on his reappearance but could find a few of these too quick on the ground. Pether's Moon is very consistent but will probably find at least one too good again but Dandino goes well fresh and has form at the highest level.
