My Friend Stan (5/2), Never Before (11/4), Daoub (3/1), Ohio State (9/2), Secret Stash (5/1), Kocasandra (11/2), Confidence High (16/1), Dolce Sicily (33/1), Life And Strife (33/1), Mighty Mirage (50/1)

The No Nay Never colt, NEVER BEFORE can get off the mark at the third attempt for connections in the opener. Costing 130,000 guineas as a yearling the youngster is better than his fourth at Naas last month suggests and can get the better of Curragh second, My Friend Stan who shaped well on debut three weeks ago. The Kevin Prendergast-trained, Daoub and the experienced, Kocasandra in first-time cheekpieces look capable of hitting the frame.
