Verdict
Thia showed good pace for a long way on heavy ground at Cork last weekend and will be better for the run but Rock 'N' Roll Kid was beaten a long way at Dundalk. Uncle Albert is bred for further but the 100,000gns yearling Jalaybee is very speedily bred. Aidan O'Brien has two entries and RIVER TIBER, a 480,000gns son of Wootton Bassett, may prove quicker at this stage than the No Nay Never colt Democracy.
