HUNTING HORN will have come on markedly for his debut at the Curragh last month and the son of Camelot should again have the beating of Hazapour, who wasn't far behind and will also have come on for the experience. Shifted Strategy is well exposed though ran quite well when runner-up in a Roscommon nursery and will be at home in the conditions. Drapers Guild has progressed with every run and has had a break since a decent effort at Leopardstown while Whirling Dervish, another son of Camelot, is the third foal of a mare who has produced two winners in France and this isn't the toughest of starts.
