Aidan O'Brien takes the wraps off Australian import STORM BOY, who could be an exciting addition to the sprinting ranks. He won at this level at Randwick as a juvenile and is a son of Justify with plenty of dash. He holds Group 1 entries for Royal Ascot. Grand Grey ran on strongly for second (ahead of Lethal Levi in third) in a Group 3 at Newmarket, which was a notable effort on his first start since switching to Kevin Ryan. My Mate Alfie really enjoys the Curragh and is likely to come on from his runner-up berth on his reappearance in Naas. Charlie Hills won this last year and sends Iberian across the Irish Sea, so his chance is respected. |
Marginal preference is for MY MATE ALFIE, whose improved autumn form last season (including two good wins over C&D) gives him leading form prospects and whose reappearance run over 5f last month was encouraging. The return to 6f is a plus and, with race fitness a possibly crucial advantage, he is narrowly preferred to Storm Boy, whose good Australian form makes him a leading player too. This dual Group 1 Ascot entry is treading a similar path to Merchant Navy, a good ex-Australian colt who won this on his debut for Aidan O'Brien in this race in 2018. Lethal Levi is third best ahead of fellow British raider Iberian. |

Smart performer who will be suited by the return to 6f and has won eight times here; however, 8yo is flying a bit too high at Gr 2 level; tongue tie returns; others preferred. |
