Going - Good (good to yielding in places on Round). Fine

Formscan By Alan Magee - CAUSEWAY has progressed with each run, and riding arrangements suggest he is preferred of Aidan O’Brien’s trio. The son of Wootton Bassett completed a hat-trick in the Listed Tetrarch Stakes here earlier this month and is bred to appreciate the step up to 1m2f. Stablemate Drop Dead Gorgeous didn’t enjoy the clearest of passages when third in the Group 3 Athasi Stakes here last time and has plenty of scope for improvement, while South Island and Shosholoza should both progress from their reappearance in the Ballysax Stakes at Leopardstown last month.
