Three-year-olds have a very good record in this and SALT LAKE CITY can keep up the sequence. He couldn't quite get to Moon De Vega in a Leopardstown Listed contest on his return from a long break last month but has the scope to be elevated into Group company. Tarawa has already proved herself at that level, finishing second in a Leopardstown Group 3 before a cracking effort behind brilliant stablemate Tahiyra in the 1,000 Guineas here. Lord Massusus deserves a crack at this level after winning a couple of handicaps while Hellsing returns after a long break having had very smart juvenile form. Cosmic Vega looks best of the older horses having won at this level over 7f at Naas.
