Formscan - CONFUCIUS left a lasting impression on his Curragh debut when denied by the narrowest of margins and built on that promise when easily breaking through at Naas. Given his connections, the son of No Nay Never looks the perfect type for this race and can follow in the hoofprints of Caravaggio, Arizona, River Tiber and Gstaad, with Ballydoyle responsible for four of the last 10 Coventry winners. Also a son of No Nay Never, stable companion Great Barrier Reef is unbeaten in two starts and commands respect, while James Doyle opts to ride Hamilton winner Royal Heritage of the Wathnan trio and he could be one for the each-way players. Cut A Dash and Siouxperb are just a couple more to consider.
