Fourth of 15 although beaten 14½L on debut at Naas over 1m4f last November. Will have to improve on that especially giving a stone to the three-year-olds here.
No extra in the final furlong on debut when dropping to finish eighth of 17 at Gowran Park in September last year but major step up when finishing strongly into fourth over 1m4f at Roscommon last month. Merits respect now.
Showed potential in two starts for Roger Varian but they came way back in 2017 so presumably had some issues since and taken 10 months to get her out since connections bought her for £12,000 last August.
€65,000 son of Australia was beaten 15L into seventh of 11 on debut at the Curragh last month. No reason he can't come forward but major improvement needed.
Beautifully bred son of Teofilo showed enough in debut fourth at Naas that his fifth there next was a little disappointing. This may be a little weaker however than either of those so not ruling him out.
Still in the Irish Derby and St Leger and may be the sort for the latter trip-wise based on the big improvement he showed when upped to 1m4f at Leopardstown latest behind an odds-on stablemate. Leading claims now.
Galileo newcomer; first foal; dam 1m and 8.4f (Listed) winner, closely related to 1m Gr 3 winner Furner's Green, half-sister to 1m Listed winner Mystical Lady, 1m 2yo winner/Irish Oaks third Lady Lupus. Jockey booking suggest stable second string.
Second foal by stallion sensation Kingman; half-brother to 8.6f AW winner Timespan; dam 8.6f AW winner, sister to 1m2f 2yo Group 1 winner Passage Of Time and 1m4f Group 2 winner Father Time. Top yard so market check advised.
Some moderate late headway on debut here behind Derby fifth Sir Dragonet before midfield effort latest where re-opposing Harpo Marx was second. Reversal highly unlikely.
Beaten just three rivals so far in as many starts and is very easy to oppose here.

It is not uncommon for a Ballydoyle inmate to take a near quantum-leap forward at some point in their three-year-old year and that is what HARPO MARX did when second to odds-on stablemate Il Paradiso at Leopardstown last time out. He gets the nod over Red Gerry who achieved a similar level of form behind another O'Brien trained winner latest due to that runner having slight stamina doubts going up 2½f in trip. Estijmaam looked like the further she goes the better latest when fourth so an extended 1m4f here should see her also go well.
