There has been plenty to like about the Aiden O'Brien-trained BOND STREET without ever going to reach the heights of other three-year-olds in the yard. The Galileo colt can build on two pleasing starts last month at the Curragh to land the spoils in this contest. C&D winner Damselfly and useful two-year-old last year, My Mystique can hit the frame.
