Race preview
Unraced as a juvenile, Ballydoyle representative EPHESUS wasn't far behind a better fancied stablemate on his debut over an extended 1m2f at Dundalk last month and, given he was doing his best work at the finish, there is good reason to expect the son of Galileo to improve for this sterner test of stamina. Mr Hampstead rates the chief threat, with Mina Rashid considered the pick of the rest.
