Going - Good (good to yielding in places after R7). Overcast

Formscan By Michael Graham - Aidan O'Brien takes the wraps off southern hemisphere import STORM BOY who could be an exciting addition to the sprinting ranks. He won at this level in Australia and is a son of Justify with plenty of dash. He holds Group 1 entries for Royal Ascot. Grand Grey ran on strongly for second (ahead of Lethal Levi in third) in a Group 3 at Newmarket which was a notable effort on his first start since switching to Kevin Ryan. My Mate Alfie really enjoys the Curragh and is likely to come on from his runner-up berth on seasonal reappearance in Naas. Charles Hills won this race last year and sends Iberian across the Irish Sea, so his chance is respected.
