Change Of Velocity probably found the going too heavy on his reappearance at Leopardstown and is expected to do better. Stoic Soul is fitted with a visor after a disappointing run at Cork but Subjudice, who is related to seven winners, mostly over middle-distances, should be much better suited by tonight's trip after a spin over 7f in his first campaign. Sheberghan is by Sea The Stars out of a 7f winner and one to note though the Ballydoyle entries could hold the call. Both SOUTHERN FRANCE and Frankincense are by Galileo and though the latter, who is out of a very smart mare and a half-brother to Battle Of Marengo, should be winning soon, it's Ryan Moore's mount who gets the vote.
