HOUSESOFPARLIAMENT is by Galileo out of a USA Dirt Grade 1 winner so the surface is unlikely to be a problem. He was surprisingly beaten by stable companion Bhutan on very testing ground at Leopardstown but should gain compensation though he faces another Ballydoyle entry in Pietro Testa. He's also a Galileo colt and cost 2.6m guineas being a half-brother to the high-class Harbinger. He started a short price in a four-runner race over 1m4f on heavy going at Gowran on his reappearance but could only finish third. Flying Bullet is bred for middle-distances and made a very satisfactory debut over a mile at the Curragh in October and he's in the Irish Derby but the remainder look as though they have some improving to do to get involved.
