Suspect Device will be better for his run behind Moment Of Weakness at Dundalk but it will be a surprise if he is good enough here. Jim Bolger's Invincible Spirit colt Head Space should have the pace to make his presence felt while Master Melody is a half-brother to last year's winning juvenile Rudi Valentino. Aidan O'Brien won this two years ago with Peter Tchaikovsky and is dual-handed here with Petronius Maximus, who is related to several useful winners including Third Set and Georgebernardshaw and the filly JULIET CAPULET. The latter, who is Johnny Murtagh's pick, is out of the Oaks runner-up Royal Ballerina and related to a host of winners and is probably the more forward of the Ballydoyle pair at this stage.
