AGENT OF CHAOS was beaten a neck by subsequent Breeders' Cup winner Hit It A Bomb at the Curragh in September and though he finished last in a Group 3 at Leopardstown last month the sticky ground may have been the cause and he does not look to have much to beat here. Oromo is probably the main danger as he was around five lengths behind in that Curragh event and should have made progress. Zoravan was beaten ten lengths on his debut here last month but ran better than the result indicates after missing the break while Markhan will have come on for his debut on the track and Ebadan for his opening run on testing ground at Limerick.
