Formscan By John O'Riordan - Recent course and distance winner TARAWA looks the most solid option in a race where most of the leading contenders have questions to answer. Fourth in last years Irish 1000 Guineas, the Dermot Weld-trained four-year-old took time to build on that effort but looked much more like the finished article when winning here last month. Bold Discovery, who beat Tarawa at the Curragh last July, should again be in contention. The Jessica Harrington-trained gelding made a winning reappearance at this track in May before running down the field at Royal Ascot last month. Diego Velazquez has the highest official rating in the field but will need to return to something like his best in order to get competitive.
