BOLSHOI BALLET was sent to Newmarket for his debut but ran green in the early stages before staying on. With that under his belt, the son of Galileo will be difficult to beat. Grid finished last of four on his debut but produced a much better performance at Gowran when up with the pace for most of the way. Earlswood was a 100/1 chance over 7f at the Curragh but belied his odds with a very encouraging run while Salvucci is ready to win soon judging by his very good third behind Khartoum at the Curragh on Sunday. Moktaffy wasn't beaten far in what looked a strong Listowel maiden last month and Safari Quest has a superb pedigree so is a newcomer to watch out for.
