Jessica Harrington should make a bold bid for a hat-trick via In The Present, whose close third behind Ickworth in a Listed race at the Curragh in May suggests she's certain to go close and she was only beaten a head by A New Dawn at Naas in a race that is working out well. PRINCE OF NAPLES was beaten just over a length behind Royal Lytham at Navan last month and the winner went on to land the Group 2 July Stakes at Newmarket so Sheila Lavery's colt looks the form pick. Erlking has been going well without quite getting there while Moondrop found a mile taxing her stamina at Bellewstown and should do better here.
