Dabashan
Made a competent debut over the extended 1m2f at Dundalk in March, keeping on for third behind the two market leaders (trained by Ger Lyons and Aidan O'Brien respectively); got the hang of things late on and should be suited by the longer trip here.

Delta
Closely related to Group 2 winner Queen Of The Pride (Lancashire Oaks); dam won the St Leger; never counted on Galway debut last August; better over 1m1f at the Curragh the following month; stamina should not be an issue on pedigree but he needs to find plenty of improvement; tongue-tie fitted.

Galileo colt is a brother to four winners; dam 6f 2yo Listed winner, half-sister to US 1m1f stakes winner Cherokee Reef; made a positive impression when keeping on for fourth behind an Aidan O'Brien-trained winner over 1m2f here last month; has an edge over Jr Mahon and Roosevelt.

Vorfreude
Only 0.5l in front of today's rival Delta when fifth of 14 on debut over 1m1f at the Curragh; has picked up valuable experience since then and has shown maiden-winning potential with three placed efforts, including twice runner-up over 1m2f at Navan this term; winner of those two races came from the Johnny Murtagh yard which is responsible for Dabashan here.
