Aidan O'Brien holds a very strong hand with half the field but this is all about the return of LUXEMBOURG (NAP). A high-class juvenile, the Camelot colt overcame trouble in-running when third in the 2000 Guineas behind Coroebus and Native Trail. This is his first run since but the step up to 1m2f should prove ideal. Point Gellibrand may prove best of his fellow three-year-olds but it's the older horses who are more interesting. Georgeville is proven at this level but concedes 8lb to the younger brigade and the filly Insinuendo is having a first start since late March when hunting up Mother Earth.
