Verdict
CHIEF LITTLE ROCK chased home the well-supported Juxstaposition over the course and distance three weeks ago, staying on nicely after getting outpaced in mid-race. He should go one better and Ryan Moore chooses him over Gasper De Lemos, who has no future entries. Bad Desire made an excellent debut when runner-up to the selection's stablemate and long odds-on Navy Seal at Galway, leading for a long way on the heavy ground and staying on nicely. Ringside Timing wasn't far behind when the selection made his debut and has come up against smart types in subsequent runs. Soldier's Empire is related to a couple of winners and is one to note.
