DIEGO VELAZQUEZ cost a pretty penny as a yearling and looked an extremely bright prospect when scoring in ready fashion on his debut at the Curragh 4 weeks ago, so he's fully expected to take the step up in grade in his stride and maintain his unbeaten record. His stablemate Capulet impressed at the Curragh last month and could pose the main threat, while Deepone and Atlantic Coast are others who merit respect in an interesting renewal of this Group 2.
