Verdict

CAIRO took a long time to warm up over 6f here but stayed on strongly and only just failed to catch the more experienced Wave Machine. He takes a big step-up in trip but looks certain to be suited. Stablemate Gulf Of Mexico cost an astonishing 1.1m guineas being a son of Galileo out of a Group 2 winner who has produced winners with her first three offspring. Warrior Lion made a fair start behind Denmark over this trip at Naas but the third has been well beaten subsequently. Our Boy Wes has changed stables since a good run in a race that has worked out at Leopardstown in May while the 160,000gns Churchill colt Voice Of Reason is out of a mare who has produced winners with her first four offspring.
