All Approved has done OK if a little disappointing at Roscommon last time but it will be a surprise if he can hold off a quartet of blue-blooded newcomers. Aidan O'Brien has won this for the past two years and has a trio of entries. Camelot is by Montjeu out of a Group 3 winning miler and this looks his trip for now. He has numerous fancy entries, unlike the Danehill Dancer colt Canary Wharf who is a brother to a couple of moderate performers. The Dylan Thomas colt Fort Sam Houston is engaged in two Group 1 juvenile events later this season and could prove the best of the Ballydoyle runners but it's Jim Bolger's filly FOINSE, a daughter of Teofilio out of a mare who won over 1m2f and from the family of Goldikova, who gets the vote.
