Verdict
Aidan O'Brien has three entries including the newcomer The Statesman, a half-brother to a couple of minor winners. Pennsylvania improved for his debut at the Curragh when runner-up to Legitimus at Gowran and there should be more to come from the $375,000 yearling. Family Crest was his stable's second string when making a fair start behind Territory at Naas though finished over two lengths behind runner-up SALTONSTALL, who looked a smart prospect and can go one better. Kryptos, who attracted good support that day, was beaten a long way but is tried in blinkers and should do better. Massif Central couldn't quite get to Sweet Sounds at Roscommon but today's softer conditions should be in his favour.
