Aidan O'Brien has three entries but though Lord Of The Manor and King Of The Castle have stronger form, Ryan Moore is on board THE MEDITERRANEAN and the son of Galileo out of a Group 2 winner is likely to improve markedly on his debut behind a stable companion at the Curragh in November. Joseph also has three entries and Ruling will find this trip much more to his liking than the mile at Dundalk where he finished fourth in November. Mitigated Risk was very green at Cork but was staying on strongly once getting the hang of things and should get into contention while Hathlool also caught the eye at Naas where he didn't get the run of the race.
