Aidan O'Brien probably holds the key with KING PELLINOR and the newcomer Sir Dragonet. The former, a son of Camelot, made a reasonable debut in a strong maiden at Leopardstown and can take care of his rival, by the same sire out of a mare from a classic middle-distance family. Gealach was unfancied on her debut over 1m2f at Naas but was noted staying on nicely but Lightsider could only stay on at one pace at Cork. Zarafshan wasn't far behind the selection at Leopardstown though had the advantage of a previous run and Trossachs, who was only just behind, found the trip too short.
