Aidan O'Brien has won three of the last five but this is no easy start for the 675,000gns yearling Oklahoma City, who is by Oasis Dream out of a superbly-bred mare from a top middle-distance family. SUDIRMAN put a moderate debut behind him with a fine run behind Sir John Hawkins at the Curragh. The winner certainly didn't let the form down in the Coventry Stakes and David Wachman's colt looks the one to beat. Jim Bolger is quick to bring Home School out again after a promising debut behind The Organ Grinder at Limerick on Saturday where he was a bit unlucky in-running. He'll have improved enormously for the experience as will Shining Emerald for a very encouraging effort behind the more experienced Freedom Square at the Curragh. Bismark and the newcomer Tahaany are others to note in what should prove an informative event.
