Schoolboy Error has a 6lb penalty to contend with after scoring at Dundalk but wins his share of races and cannot be left out of calculations. BAY HILL enters the fray in top form having scored over timber at Listowel. His earlier effort in a big field over this trip at the Curragh would make him difficult to beat. Miraculum is still a maiden and though doing better at Navan that was over 1m6f. Universal Focus is in top form and is only 2lb higher after scoring at Naas so it will be a surprise if he's not concerned in the finish while Carol's Return will be losing her maiden tag soon judged on her improved effort at Down Royal. Acclamatio ran poorly at Listowel but that was over a trip much too short on heavy going and he's better than that.
