Ardhoomey has a penalty to carry for a Group 2 victory over Washington Dc here and only just failed to see off that runner-up on his reappearance at Navan. Paul Midgley has some terrific sprinters in his care including Monsieur Joe, who is well up to this level and will be better for his run behind stable companion Desert Law at Musselburgh. The UK is also represented by Just Glamorous, who won four times last summer including a Group 3 at Chantilly, plus Robert Cowell's trio Encore d'Or, Sir Robert Cheval and Shrill,while Willytheconqueror and Rural Celebration also make the long journey. ACAPULCO was trained by Wesley Ward when landing the 2015 Queen Mary Stakes and when runner-up to Mecca's Angel in the Nunthorpe. She won a Listed contest in the USA a year ago and had just one subsequent run before transferring to Aidan O'Brien, who has her engaged in all the top sprints.
