Bond Street looks destined to shape the market here but it would be brave to take a short price on him at this juncture. His latest effort over 7f around here was a bit of a letdown. He's clearly well thought of at Ballydoyle and should have a race like this in his compass however. More interesting is the newcomer WOULD YOU BELIEVE for Ger Lyons, who is operating a 20% strike rate on his 2yos over the previous 12 months. He's bred to be quick and should have a say in this contest. Kion wasn't disgraced on debut here and should improve while Namazee and Akua are newcomer worth paying attention to.
