19:30 Dundalk

Providing MANACCAN takes to the surface I think this progressive colt is very much the one to beat. He impressed getting his head back in front at Doncaster last month and then looked a shade unlucky next time out at Newbury. He was firmly in command when back in the winners enclosure at Ascot at the start of the month and still has more to come yet being just a 3yo. This will undoubtedly be run at a fierce gallop and that should play nicely into his hands. The Highway Rat won this as a 3yo last season and might emerge as the main danger as he bids to defend his crown. He was a nose too strong for Logo Hunter over track and trip last time and might be able to confirm that form. Erosandpsyche found all bar Highfield Princess too strong in the Flying Five when last seen at the Curragh and is another that has to be respected in what is a decent renewal.
