In depth

Verdict

Harmony Rose attracted support at Tipperary and, though unable to match the pace of the front pair, stayed on nicely and the runner-up has won subsequently. Porsche Cavalier showed very good speed in that Tipperary event and only faded close home so today's quicker ground will help while Charlie De Rio couldn't get to Cheerupsleepyjean at the Curragh but that looked a smart first-time effort and normal progress will see him in contention. Benevolent finished last in that latter event but wasn't beaten far and better can be expected though the vote goes to AMALFI COAST. Aidan O'Brien's colt has a much speedier pedigree than most from the yard and though only fifth on his debut at Navan was impeded at a crucial stage and can make amends. Valarossa and Butterfly Stream are newcomers to keep an eye on.
