Zaynudin wasn’t beaten far when third at Dundalk but gave the impression he’d appreciate a try over 1m4f in the near future. WORDSWORTH (NAP) started favourite over a mile here in August on his debut but found stablemate High Definition too strong. The winner landed the Group 2 Beresford Stakes here next time and the third later won a Group 3 at Leopardstown so it will be disappointing if the Galileo colt, brother to the top-class Kew Gardens and Snow, can’t go one better today. His yard also run Eternal Flame, who is a likely improver, while Agrimony should build on his second at Punchestown. Port Philip, a half-brother to two winners, and Theory Of Music, sister to a Listed and Group 3 winner, are newcomers to note.
