Irish Hawke is by Montjeu and is a half-brother to three winners but may be better for this run. Fellow newcomer Stealing The Show is also a half-brother to three winners, though two of them were best up to 7f. ATAMAN can only improve on his second at Windsor, where he was given plenty to do, and is narrowly preferred to Plane Song. Sir Michael Stoute's Nayef colt continues to give the impression that a step up in trip is required and he'll be qualified for handicaps after this. Included was very green on debut in November and should do better this year.
