Verdict
Those with experience don't look inspiring and there will be money for the Ballydoyle newcomer Blue Hussar, a son of Montjeu and related to several winners. Dermot Weld has a couple of entries and Pat Smullen has chosen ROUSAYAN, who is the fifth foal of a mare who has already produced four winners in France including one in a Group 2, so he could be the one to be on. Streetcar To Stars is another newcomer to watch out for as he's a half-brother to the useful Midas Touch while Screenshot hasn't run too badly and may do best of those with experience in a first-time hood.
