Brighter London made a very good start at Naas where he was always up with the pace and stayed on well. He was picked up at the Breeze-up in the spring, as was KING OF SCOTIA, who put that experience to good use when runner-up to Continuous at the Curragh. The winner subsequently won a Group 3 at Saint-Cloud so Michael O'Callaghan's colt will be difficult to beat with normal improvement. Joseph O'Brien has three entries and For The Faithful had a run in a barrier trial here while Song For Whoever had Almendares behind when runner-up to the long odds-on Arinniti here last month.
