FormscanBy Gary Carson - The ground would be a concern for CAIRO, who returns from an absence, but his class may see him through. The Quality Road colt was last seen chasing home star stablemate Paddington in the Irish 2,000 Guineas in late May. He won the Killavullan Stakes last year with a good cut in the ground which would give some hope he could get through testing conditions. Honey Girl is a consistent sort and gets through ground. She could be a danger. Power Under Me was slightly disappointing last time at Cork but is a dual course and distance winner, including when claiming this race 12 months ago in soft ground, and has to be respected.
