Verdict
Ryan Moore has several good chances today and his presence on SIOUX NATION suggests the speedily-bred son of Scat Daddy is the Ballydoyle pick and he may be good enough to make a successful start. His stable companion Mount Wellington is by Invincible Spirit out of a very useful 6f-1m winner and should have plenty of pace but Moltoir is a half-brother to a 1m2f winner. Guessthebill is from the first crop of Reckless Abandon out of a 6f winner so he's one to note along with the filly Damselfly, a daughter of Power out of an all-weather winner.
