The biggest priced winner in 10 years has been 3/1 with Dermot Weld and Aidan O'Brien having nine victories between them. Six of those successes went to the former trainer who has TRUE SOLITAIRE engaged here. He started a short-priced favourite at Gowran last month but couldn't cope with the filly Turret Rocks, who has since run well in a Group 3, but the expected progress can see him go one better. Jim Bolger trains that winner but his entry Brontide is becoming disappointing and was well beaten by Weld's Foxtrot Charlie at Killarney. Ballydoyle's representatives are Johannes Vermeer, who looked in need of experience despite starting odds-on at Tipperary, and the newcomer Unicorn, who will stay further. The former's debut effort will have done him the power of good and he'll be difficult to keep out of the frame. Candelaria is related to numerous winners including the useful Group 2 winner Arabian Gleam so he's worth watching in the market along with stablemate Fire Tree, who cost 215,000 euros.
