Ryan Moore teams-up with Willie Mullins once again though Saldier faced a much easier task when scoring at Listowel recently. It was soft ground when GLOBAL STORM won over today’s trip at Newmarket last month with Arthurian Fable back in fourth but Charlie Appleby’s charge is versatile as regards the ground and looks worth sticking with in this. He’s preferred to another Godolphin runner in Brilliant Light but Throne Hall may improve for this longer trip and is less exposed than On To Victory. Sleeping Lion, Amtiyaz and Themaxwecan all drop back down in distance with the latter preferred.
