Gan Amhras has completely failed to progress from last year's 2000 Guineas third behind Sea The Stars and it will be a surprise if he can bounce back. Address Unknown is the form pick on his run behind Rajik at Galway and he's probably got more improvement in him over this trip. Icon Dream has competed exclusively at Group 3 level since his debut success but may need very testing conditions to show his best. CLEARWATER BAY, a full brother to Alexandrova and Masterofthehorse, is taking a big leap in class against pattern race opposition but could prove up to it. He still looked very green when landing a soft maiden at Galway but eventually won in a style that suggests he can go on to better things.
