This has gone to Ballydoyle in seven of the last ten years and should do so again via SIR ISAAC NEWTON. The Galileo colt cost an incredible 3.6m guineas as a yearling and though likely to be seen to much better effect next year this will do for starters. Gran Paradiso is also a son of Galileo and is the first foal of a 6f winner so he could have more basic pace at this stage. Those with experience have shown little so another newcomer, Zawraq, a half-brother to a couple of winners, could prove best of the remainder.
