Aidan O'Brien complicates matters with three entries. Mythologic made a promising start behind a stable companion at the Curragh and was expected to score at Gowran but found Zarzyni too good. The winner could be smart so he should make a bold bid though stablemate YEAR OF THE TIGER may have his measure. Runner-up to Lil Grey at the Curragh, he ran better than his finishing position suggests in the Chesham and that experience could prove too much for another Ballydoyle inmate Innisfree. Never Before has looked in need of this extra furlong though will need to improve but Jessica Harrington's stable is on fire and Free Solo, a son of Showcasing out of a Group 2 winner, is greatly respected.
