Formscan By John O'Riordan - With the form of his debut fifth at the Curragh working out exceptionally well, BOLD COMMANDER(1) should be good enough to score. Both the second and third placed horses went on to win their maidens next time, while the fourth was only beaten one-and-a-half lengths in a Listed race at Royal Ascot. With almost certainly nothing of that calibre to contend with here, the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt should make the breakthrough. Recent Naas runner-up April Mist looks the main threat. Sent off 16/1 on that occasion, the Ger Lyons-trained filly was clearly expected to improve for that initial experience. Down Royal second Tradewinds is more exposed but has picked up plenty of racing experience which should stand to him.
