Son of Galileo is a full-brother to top class Churchill and Clemmie who both won Group One's at two. Well down the field in a couple of starts to date and likely to struggle again.

Full-brother to Derby winner Ruler Of The World wasn't knocked about on debut before similar handling at the Curragh last month. Worth a market check.

Scat Daddy filly, cost $150,000 as a yearling and €200,000 as a Breeze-up purchase. Nothing of note in a couple of career starts to date and hard to fancy.

Forecasts

I Am Superman (13/8), Eminence (9/4), Norway (7/2), Blenheim Palace (12/1), Rakan (14/1), Lock Seventeen (16/1), Solar Wind (20/1), Bellakris (25/1), Majority Share (25/1), Military Star (66/1)

Verdict

The Aidan O'Brien-trained EMINENCE wasn't knocked about when beaten at Leopardstown in July, when the yard was said to be under a bit of a cloud. The youngster can improve for that run here overcoming the challenge from I Am Superman and stablemate Norway. Rakan could be interesting at a price on debut for trainer Dermot Weld.
