Intelligence Cross picked up a Group 3 penalty at the Curragh in August before running in two Group 1 races. He'll be better for his reappearance at Dundalk but the yard is also represented by Alphabet, who could hardly have been more impressive in a Naas maiden. SON OF REST is well regarded and was highly tried in his two runs last term. He made all for a facile victory at Cork and can take the step-up in grade in his stride. Radio Silence made a successful debut at Leopardstown after which he performed in much better company. His second to Churchill in the Futurity at the Curragh puts him in the frame here. Psychedelic Funk started off in tremendous form but was a long way behind Churchill in the National Stakes at the Curragh and will need to find more.
