The Joseph O'Brien-trained SPEAK IN COLOURS can continue his good form in this contest following solid and consistent efforts in Group company since racing resumed last month. The five-year-old, who is still an entire, can progress from his win in the Group 2 Greenland stakes at the Curragh late last month at the expense of the Ger Lyons-trained, Soul Search who was off the mark in maiden company at the seventh time of asking for connections at Naas last month over 7f. Distance winner, Smash Williams for trainer Jim Bolger and Surrounding, C&D winner for trainer Mick Halford can go close while Could Be King is likely to interest each-way punters.
