Brick By Brick was a 25/1 chance at Navan last month but belied those odds by almost making all. The third has won very easily since so the form should hold up. Commander Grigio was well supported for what looked a strong maiden here a couple of weeks ago and, though unable to find a finishing burst, will have come on markedly for the experience. Moltoir has improved with each run and is the type to make further progress but this can go to Ballydoyle, as it has in four of the last six renewals. Ryan Moore's presence suggests GUSTAV KLIMT, a full brother to four winners and half-brother to three more, could have the edge over Somerset Maugham, though the latter has an equally outstanding pedigree and may be more at home over this trip.
