Having shown plenty of promise despite looking green and not getting a clear run on his Galway debut SEA THE POLARIS can go one better here at the expense of the Ballydoyle pair London City and Los Angeles.

A good few of these are entitled to improve but the standard is set by SLI NA GHEALAI after her improved effort here. Quickstepping also took a notable forward step last time out and he’s second choice ahead of Absolute Advantage who returns from two months off.

Fast ground might well have been the reason for QUAR SHAMAR (NAP) running no race at Royal Ascot and he’s clearly a strong contender at this level on the strength of his sixth in the Irish 2,000 Guineas. The market should be enlightening as to what’s expected of Caracal, but as things stand, the most likely danger is the highly likeable Warrior Brave.

Last year’s winning trainer Joseph O’Brien again has a strong hand and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Statement leave her troubles from Down Under behind. However, despite her penalty, HONEY GIRL is the safer bet after her excellent latest effort in a Group 2. This strong traveller will be suited by the likely solid pace. Matilda Picotte would be a danger if able to shrug aside her recent disappointments, while Clever And Cool commands respect on last month’s standout career performance at Cork.

The penalised TWILIGHT JET will probably sink or swim in the new blinkers but he’s a genuine Group horse running in a Listed race and the chance is worth taking. He faces a wave of likeable fillies and course specialist Lady Tilbury is to be feared now returning to 5f, along with speedball Dun Na Sead. Not that Harmony Rose, Maria Branwell nor Amazon Lady can be left out of calculations.

Top-weight Ano Manna is an obvious starting point and the Killarney winner rates a big danger but slight preference is for the locally-trained SILKIES SIB on the back of a much improved effort at Cork. So Messi also holds strong claims, while Get Set Jet could prove the pick of Ross O’Sullivan’s trio.

Given the favourable weather forecast the ground may dry up sufficiently for FRENCH COMPANY to follow up a recent all weather win. Hello Power rates a likely threat on his penultimate C&D run, while top-weight Global Energy has to be respected dropped in grade.
