Aidan O'Brien isn't certain to get a race out of King Of The Romans, who has been looking very one-paced in his races to date. Burnt Sienna made a fair reappearance over a mile at Gowran and didn't stay when sent over 1m5f at Tipperary. This is more her trip and she can go well but COCKTAIL HOUR looks the one to be on. She ran well behind Just Pretending at Navan last time and the winner went on to land a Group 3 at Leopardstown. Madam Mo has reappeared in excellent form and followed a narrow defeat over this trip at Gowran with another good run at Wexford where she found 1m4f stretching her stamina.
