Race preview

A difficult contest to assess, with very little form to go on. Aidan O'Brien introduces two expensive yearling purchases, with Euphoric bought for 1.9 million guineas, while South Pole was knocked down for 650,000 guineas. Whatever happens here, they will both come on plenty for this initial experience. Ger Lyons is also double-handed, with Colin Keane opting to partner ROCKING TREE. The Teme Valley-owned bay improved from his debut effort at the Curragh to finish fourth at Punchestown on his most recent start and he can put his experience to good use now. Gavin Cromwell has done well with his juveniles this season and the County Meath handler is represented by Moutarde, who is an interesting contender on debut. Benvoy and Volto Di Medusa were fifth and sixth in their respective barrier trials at Dundalk last month, with the latter since down the field on his racecourse debut at Down Royal.
