Epsom Derby third AMHRAN NA BHFIANN is impossible to oppose despite dropping back in trip. He took his place in the classic after finishing fourth in a Leopardstown maiden over this distance that could hardly have worked out better and this should prove a nice warm-up for the St Leger. Zawara didn't attract much attention in the market over a mile here a month ago but ran a fine race, staying on strongly to get within half-a-length of stable companion Kassaba. She should be winning soon while her stablemate Ashtarak plus King Arthurs Sword, a good third here last time, are place prospects. However, the main threat could come from the selection's stablemate Gauntlet, closely related to six winners including Arc winner Danedream.
