Jim Bolger complicates matters by saddling the two with the best form. Brontide didn't enjoy the soft ground at Galway after three successive seconds on quicker going and Kevin Manning, who rode him on all four occasions, chooses to ride Theodorico, who has shown potential in both starts on fast going at Leopardstown behind Aidan O'Brien-trained winners. The Ballydoyle team are represented this time by Cook Islands, who is the mount of Joseph, and Hit It A Bomb, with Ryan Moore booked. Neither have any big race entries this season nor does MUNAASHID but Dermot Weld's charge, who cost 450,000 euros as a yearling, is a half-brother to six winners and out of a mare who won a Group 3 over this trip as a juvenile so is given a tentative vote.
