Joseph O'Brien had plenty entered at the early stage and relies on the newcomer DOWNDRAFT, a half-brother to nine winners including Group 1 winner Chelsea Rose. He could be good enough to make a winning start though the stable also have Remmy D as first reserve and he's one to note if getting a run as he caught the eye on his debut. Bring On The Band looks best of those with experience having produced two good efforts here in October while Lorente was racing over a trip much too short at Naas last time and has changed stables. Zamroudpour is a half-brother to a winning miler and out of a 6f winner and makes his debut for Dermot Weld.
