Aidan O'Brien has three entries. Louisiana was odds-on at Cork but couldn't handle Shekhem, who had some strong previous form. Donnachie is on board Hong Kong, who didn't improve from his debut when mid-division here last month, while Coventry is by Galileo out Irish Oaks winner Moonstone and is related to several Group winners. The latter is in the Futurity at Doncaster so must be well regarded. MING WARRIOR hasn't run since April when runner-up to the odds-on Monarch Of Egypt, twice runner-up to the unbeaten Siskin in top company. Michael O'Callaghan's charge is the form pick on that run and he should be ready after a break. Jungle Cove hasn't done much wrong though was a bit disappointing in soft ground at Listowel but Springbank made an excellent start behind the very useful Wichita here and normal progress would see him in contention.
