4/5

Promising individual. 6/1, 1½ lengths second of 6 to Paddington in listed race at this course (8f, soft) 27 days ago, no match for winner. Promises to be suited by this step up in trip and yard has a fine record in this race.

9/1

Thrice-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Won 15-runner maiden at Gowran (8f, good to soft, 6/5) 25 days ago, well on top finish. Likely improver now upped in trip but this demands a significant step forward.

This step up in trip should spark improvement in DRUMROLL, who kept on well when chasing home potentially smart stablemate Paddington over a mile here at the beginning of the month. He is taken to enhance Aidan O'Brien's teriffic record in this race. Pivotal Trigger found Group 1 company too much on his final 2-y-o start and is strongly respected back at this level, while Mister Mister, who was a place adrift of Drumroll in the Tetrarch, should also make his presence felt.
