Verdict
The likelihood of heavy going hasn't deterred Aidan O'Brien from entering seven here. All are bred for this trip and further but the experience of IL PARADISO, placed on heavy going here before staying on strongly over the trip on quicker going at Newmarket, can prove decisive. Loughmore caught the eye over 7f at Naas where he didn't get going until the race was over while Millswyn wasn't far behind the selection here on his debut though already had experience. The latter's stable companion King's Vow also ran in the latter race and finished strongly from well off the pace so he'll have learnt plenty from the outing. Bayaanaat has a smart pedigree and along with the Ballydoyle battalions is one to keep an eye on for the future.
