Verdict
KINGSTON JAMAICA is by Galileo out of a winning miler and can make a winning start for the Ballydoyle team. Probably looks best of those with experience having made a very promising start over 6f at the Curragh behind Lines Of Battle where he stayed on at the finish. Neither Newberry Hill nor Cest Notre Gris has done much wrong though may have to wait for a nursery to find a race but Dermot Weld's newcomer Handsome Stranger is worth noting as he's a half-brother to a Group 3 winner over this trip.
