Aidan O'Brien has won this twice in the past six years and The Islander, his only entry at the five-day stage, has an entry in the Irish 2000 Guineas. He's related to five winners including Group 3 winner Empowering. Aerialist cost 400,000 euros which is hardly surprising as he's by Sea The Stars out of a Group 3 winner. Tango Time is related to a host of winners over a variety of distances but ROUSAYAN made a very encouraging debut on soft ground at Leopardstown where he led at today's trip before finding the extra furlong just beyond him. Normal progress can see him take this. Iveagh Gardens missed the break but stayed on nicely at Navan in October and could provide a threat.
