FormscanBy Donal Murphy - CAIRO is the suggestion in a race that is likely to produce plenty of future winners. The Aidan O'Brien-trained bay got going late on his debut over six-furlongs, finishing strongly but ultimately going down by a head. He steps-up in trip now to a mile and this should suit. Warrior Lion also filled the runner-up spot on debut. The Roaring Lion chestnut proved no match for the impressive Denmark at Naas, but he still ran a race full of promise and should give a good account of himself here. Our Boy Wes is a fascinating contender on his first start for Emmet Mullins. A fine third on his second outing at Leopardstown in May, he finished a place ahead of subsequent Ballyhane Stakes winner Voce Del Palio. Newcomers Voice Of Reason, Gulf Of Mexico and Kingswood all warrant respect. Gulf Of Mexico is out of Group 2 winner Anthem Alexander, while Kingswood is a half-brother to the unbeaten Eldar Eldarov, who won the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot on his most recent start.
