In depth
Verdict
Expecto didn't handle heavy ground at the Curragh and should do better. Jungle Dance has a speedy pedigree while Son Of Corballis has a nice pedigree but will probably want further. Velvet Skies is the first foal of a two-year-old winner so should have pace but Ballydoyle took this last year and can do so again. EDWARDIAN is by No Nay Never and the second foal of a mare who produced a two-year-old Group 3 winner with her first. Leap Year is by the same sire out of a mare who has produced two 7f winners.
