What should be a very good three-day meeting for Aidan O'Brien can end on a high note via LUCIUS TIBERIUS, who couldn't quite get to Broad Street at Navan after suffering interference in running. Gardens Of Babylon is the mount of Ryan Moore so he'll be expected to improve on his odds-on defeat at Leopardstown while the filly Baby Pink, a 450,000gns yearling, makes her belated debut for the yard. Escapability might do better over this more suitable trip on better ground than she's been facing while both Manzil, a half-brother to four winners, and Dawn Trouper, a half-brother to six winners, are newcomers to note.
