Formscan By Michael Graham - Tactics should be fascinating in this Group 2. Aidan O'Brien's MONTREAL was an impressive eight-length winner off the front in a maiden over course and distance last month, to put himself firmly in the 'could be anything' category, after which connections identified this race. He holds Group One entries for the end of the season and looks to be a colt with considerable potential. His stablemate, Benvenuto Cellini, also made all to get off the mark in a Killarney maiden (on yielding to soft ground) that has thrown up subsequent winners including fourth-placed Hardy Warrior over course and distance. Benvenuto Cellini has all the 'right' entries and is a major contender. Nil Bua Gan Dua is a massive price, but could outrun his odds.
