GULF OF MEXICO has a 1.1million gns price tag hanging round his neck but by the way he ran on behind odds-on stablemate Cairo at the Curragh he'll have no problems winning races, starting here. Stable companion Duke Cador, a son of Camelot, is a half-brother to numerous winners and will be suited by middle-distances next season. Young Ireland ran well behind Ballydoyle winners in his first two starts before being thrust into Group 2 company where he was well beaten after showing early pace. Intellotto made his debut in a strong Curragh maiden last month and was going on at the finish after missing the break. Hokusai has been given a break since an early season run over a trip too short.
