Agent Zero led for a long way over this trip at the Curragh and only faded close home so will know much more here. Kassaba caught the eye with a very promising fourth behind Howling Wolf at Leopardstown but so did Santiago, who finished runner-up. Aidan O'Brien's charge should make a bold bid to win this for the yard for the first time since 1996 though ALPINE STAR may have his measure. Jessica Harrington's fillies have been carrying all before them this season and the half-sister to the top-class Alpha Centauri made a very encouraging debut at Leopardstown when less than 2l behind subsequent Group 3 winner Love.
