Aidan O'Brien has three of the seven entries headed by Sioux Nation, who carries a Group 1 penalty for his victory in the Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh. That was on fast going and he hasn't done so well in softer conditions and was behind stable companion Fleet Review on good to soft in the Middle Park at Newmarket won by U S Navy Flag. In receipt of 5lb, the latter holds the call though it would be no shock if the third of the Ballydoyle entries, DIFFERENT LEAGUE, lived up to her name. The Albany Stakes winner and Cheveley Park runner-up, has moved to Ballydoyle and the allowances she receives on her debut for the yard can swing things in her favour. Speak In Colours is another who has changed stables having won two out of three for Marco Botti including a Doncaster Listed victory.
