In depth

Verdict

Fightfortheroses can count Derby hero Pour Moi among his winning relatives and is preferred to stablemate Kew Gardens but NELSON (NAP) makes most appeal of the Ballydoyle contingent. He failed to get a clear run on his debut at Leopardstown but should have benefited for the experience. Yulong Warrior steps up in trip having found one too good in all three starts so far while Decked and Paparazzi are likely improvers. Riyazan is another newcomer to keep an eye on for the future.
