Verdict
Clongowes followed a very good debut behind Finn McCool over this trip at Navan with another over a furlong shorter at Cork. He'll be much better suited by returning to this distance and has to be on the shortlist. The remaining pair with experience haven't shown much but there are some choicely-bred newcomers in opposition including five from Ballydoyle. There aren't too many clues in jockey bookings though Seamie Heffernan's presence on board BELGRAVIA might suggest this full brother to Epsom Derby hero Ruler Of The World and closely related to Duke Of Marmalade could be the one for this. Titus is the second foal of a mare who produced a winner with her first while Apparition is a half-brother to three winners though he may do better next season.
