Mootasadir is unbeaten in three starts on the all-weather but hasn't been placed in two runs on Turf so coming here looks a good option though he hasn't raced at anything like this level. Global Giant has only won once, a Newmarket maiden in the summer of last year, but he's been racing at this level and very nearly doubled his winning tally at Windsor. MING, a debut winner here in April, won minor races at Gowran and Navan before sent to Arlington for the Group 1 Secretariat Stakes where he would have finished closer but for being impeded. He can return to winning ways though Aidan O'Brien has won the last two of these and Ballet Shoes will have found 1m4f on heavy ground at Galway too much for her on her return to action and is better than that. Kalaxana, a Listed winner at Roscommon, hasn't run badly in Group 3's subsequently while Massif Central has been finding soft ground against him recently.
