Joseph O'Brien saddles three newcomers plus Strawberry Picker, who never really got going at Killarney but will have come on markedly for the experience. AESOP, a half-brother to Youmzain, started favourite over 7f here last month and attempted to make all but couldn't quicken when headed. The extra furlong and softer ground will be in his favour and he can recoup losses. Now The King just failed to concede the winner 8lb when staying on over 7f at Naas while Soineanta will be winning soon judging by her two latest runs and will be better suited by the conditions than most. There are plenty of others with chances in a very tough maiden to call and the market is best watched.
