Deep ground won't be an issue for ESPIONAGE after going close in a French Group 1 in the mud on his final 2-y-o start. He showed he's trained on with a listed success on his Roscommon reappearance and can provide Aidan O'Brien with a third win in this since 2015. Chesspiece, Desert Hero and Canberra Legend can give the selection most to do in that order.
