In depth
Verdict
RULING (NAP) has easily the best form of these having been placed at Listed level before finding Group 2 company and 1m6f beyond him at Royal Ascot. He hasn't raced since and this is a big drop in trip but he's the one to beat. Tignanello is by Galileo out of a mare who produced a 1m4f winner with her first offspring. He hasn't raced since last August so the market could prove a good guide. Rollet made a promising debut at Dundalk and started favourite at Roscommon but still looked very green while Straight Talking will improve for last month's Navan debut. Rick Dalton was cheaply bought but his dam has produced winners with her first two foals.
