Shelford is by Galileo and made a reasonable enough start in a Leopardstown maiden won by Show Court while Scotts Bounty, though by the sprinter Bahamian Bounty, is out of a mare from a family of stayers. Leyland raced over 7f here last month so it's a surprise to see him over this trip and this looks yet another for the Ballydoyle team. Joseph rides Buckingham Gate, who kept going at one pace behind While You Wait at Down Royal but the winner has been well beaten subsequently so it could be the newcomer CHAMONIX, a son of Galileo out of the Irish Oaks and Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare runner-up L'Ancresse, who makes a winning debut.
