Alexander John has failed to make progress from his fine juvenile form though he's raced at Group level in his last three starts. Livio Milo has been narrowly beaten in his last four starts, the latest three over a mile which may be his best trip. PIER PRESSURE (NAP) had a short-head to spare over Nelda when third over 6f at Naas. He was staying on slightly better than his rival on his return from a long break and can confirm the form. His stablemate Caulaincourt looks best of the remainder.
