This shouldn't take too much winning and SHERLOCK HOLMES looks the answer. A half-brother to a Breeders' Cup winner, and out of a very classy USA mare, he's still in the Irish Derby so would need to win this with some authority to justify that entry. Torcedor hasn't been beaten far in either of his races and will ensure the newcomer doesn't have things all his own way while the expensive Mutazen will have come on a bundle for last month's debut on this track. Game Set Dash has been beaten by two Ballydoyle inmates this campaign and it could be the same scenario here.
