Brave And Bold made no impression when last of five behind stablemate Grosvenor Square at Galway with Timeonourside three lengths in front of him. The former's stablemate HYPNOSIS did much better behind another Ballydoyle inmate when staying on over this track and trip and can take this. Rapid Mission was going on over a mile at Punchestown and still has some improvement in him while Nine Lives has a stayer's pedigree so should be suited by the trip. The latter remark also applies to Puente Romano, a half-brother to six winners.
