The ground may be on the quick side for POWER BLUE but he did run well on a similar surface at the top level at Royal Ascot last time and a repeat of that would be enough. He shaped that day as if this drop back to 7f would bring further improvement and he was a Group 1 winner as a 2yo. Audience is the only other in the field to have won at the top level and he bounced back to form after a spell in the doldrums when runner up in the Ballycorus last time. He looks the clear danger ahead of course specialist Big Gossey who may be vulnerable at this level. |

Fractionally below best down to 7f when winning Brownstown Stakes (Group 3) at Leopardstown by 1/2l last time; effective 7f, suited by 1m, acts on yielding and good; consistent in the main, ideally wants a mile and vulnerable at this level. |

Yard won this last year; probably made too much use of beaten 9 1/4l in Jersey Stakes (Group 3) at Ascot last time; top course jockey/trainer combination; enjoys making it; probably effective 7/8f, acts on soft and good, not proven on fast ground; form largely disappointing at 3yo. |

Good effort made a lot of use of when fourth beaten 6l in St James's Palace Stakes (Group 1) at Ascot latest; stays 1m, acts on any, ideally doesn't want ground too fast; a drop back to 7f may bring more. |
