The Ballydoyle newcomer Long Island Sound cost $800,000 while John Oxx runs the Sea The Stars debutant My Fantasea. New Classicism is preferred to stablemate and fellow debutant Raconteur of the Godolphin duo but WHISKEY ZULU (NAP) can make his experience count. He needs to reverse recent running here with runner-up Zilbiyr but should have come on for that first outing since July, when going close at Leopardstown. Eshaan and Pure Happiness make their seasonal debuts and look likely improvers.
