FormscanBy Alan Magee - BOLD DISCOVERY made all on debut over this trip at Naas last September and again forced the pace until a furlong out here the following month in the Group 3 Killavullan Stakes. He filled third place behind Cairo on that occasion and soft ground shouldn’t hold any fears. Hans Andersen is an obvious threat. He beat Al Riffa in a Curragh maiden and performed with plenty of credit subsequently in Stakes company including when runner-up to stablemate Aesop’s Fables in the Group 2 Futurity. Carracci is another interesting contender for Ballydoyle having taken a nice step forward from his debut to land a Dundalk maiden last November. The form of that race received a timely boost when the third, Shadowed, scored at the Curragh last weekend.
