      In depth

      Verdict

      Invasion Day had some smart juvenile form but hasn't gone on as expected and Colin Keane has chosen LONG ARM. A half-brother to the stable's smart Who's Steph, he's making a belated debut but doesn't look to have a great deal to do. Hillwalker finished last in the Irish 2000 Guineas but ran well in a decent contest at Killarney a couple of weeks ago and is the obvious main threat. The remaining pair look up against it.
