Cannonball is well regarded and looked a nice prospect when beating Air Supremacy at the Curragh so can go higher than his current rating of 90. However he faces a stiff task against RED LABEL, who is rated 14lb higher and they meet at level weights. Jessica Harrington's colt has been disappointing since making a winning start for the yard in April but he's been racing at Group 3 and Listed level and this is a big drop in class. Massif Central is still a maiden and has plenty to find so Dermot Weld's newcomer Solo Saxophone is of more interest as he's by Frankel out of a smart winner.
