John Oxx introduces the superbly-bred Akzar, a half-brother to the brilliant Alamshar, and jockey bookings suggest he is more forward at this stage than stablemate Perfect Gemstone. Jim Bolger's Galileo colt Space And Time is another to note on his debut while Master Performer made a bright start behind Aidan O'Brien's Ferdinand Magellan at Navan and will have come on for the experience. The Ballydoyle team run Quest For Gold and SCOTTISH REEL and with Johnny Murtagh on the latter, who appeared to find 1m4f stretching his stamina at Leopardstown last time, he can lose his maiden tag at the third time of asking. Green Art has been looking a little one-paced at the business end but Bold Identity made a fine belated debut when staying on strongly over 1m1f at Cork. Be My Storm disappointed behind Troas at Leopardstown after a better effort on softer going at Cork.
