There will be some long faces at Ballydoyle if MATCHLESS can't beat these. A son of Galileo out of a Group 3 winner who has already produced winners with her first two offspring, he made an eye-catching debut at Tipperary and should be capable of going on to better things. Haigney ran very well for a 50/1 chance at Tipperary while Business Speak led for a long way at Leopardstown in June and his stable is in much better form. Laelaps and Larado can both win races in due course while Moktaffy cost 110,000gns and is the first foal of a winning miler.
