The Coolmore operation will be keen to win this and can do so with HAIL. The son of Galileo didn't set the world alight when third in what looked a moderate maiden at Navan but improvement is virtually guaranteed and unless there is something decent among the newcomers he should be good enough. Dermot Weld has done well in the race in the past so the Singspiel filly Pale Mimosa is one to keep an eye on while Jim Bolger's juveniles have been going well all year so Alla Speranza, a daughter of Sir Percy, is another to watch out for.
