Kevin Prendergast produced a smart first-time-out winner at Naas on Sunday and No Approval's dam has had winners with her first two foals to race. Jim Bolger continues to fire in the winners and has two entered here. Mandarin Monarch looks the pick with Kevin Manning on board though the filly Dynamic Focus shouldn't be dismissed as she's bred for this trip. Aidan O'Brien is also doubly represented by sons of Galileo and it's KELLSTORM who can prove the better of the pair at this stage and take this. He's a half-brother to Irish St Leger winner Order Of St George and cost 875,000gns as a yearling. Dermot Weld's Zulu Alpha has a superb USA pedigree and is another to note in an interesting maiden.
