Aidan O'Brien has had an incredible run with his bumper horses and TESSERACT, who has already made a contribution at Tipperary, can continue the sequence as the quicker ground is likely to prove even more suitable and he gets an age allowance. Roconga looks a danger as he was always travelling well when scoring at Clonmel and he has a Flat pedigree. Supreme Vinnie didn't get the run of the race when scoring at Clonmel so can be rated higher and he'll be staying on better than most. With his yard in unstoppable form, Hold Hard should be noted though this is a difficult start against three winners.
