Aidan O'Brien had three consecutive short-priced winners in 2002-2004 but no favourite has won for seven years. Ballydoyle are represented by the expensive Forester this time and he's an obvious one to keep an eye on but DYLANBARU gets the vote. Tommy Stack has won this twice in recent years and today's representative is bred to be a very speedy juvenile. Jim Bolger won this last year with Whip Rule and his New Approach colt Dawn Approach has plenty of pace in his pedigree but the Holy Roman Emperor colt Canary Row is out of a mare who won over middle-distances.
Canary Row (IRE) Holy Roman Emperor colt out of Fresh Mint.
Dawn Approach (IRE) New Approach colt out of Hymn Of The Dawn.
Dylanbaru (IRE) Footstepsinthesand colt out of Nubar Lady.
Forester (IRE) Danehill Dancer colt out of Amenixa.
Dorothy Parker (IRE) Mujadil filly out of Najaaba.
Gathering Power (IRE) Kyllachy filly out of Nutkin.
Granny On Fire (IRE) Trade Fair filly out of Kashra.
Lake Louise (IRE) Haatef filly out of Emmas Princess.
