Amiata and KANSAS renew rivalry from their Naas meeting last month where the former came out a head to the good. However, the latter has since shown better form when second at the Curragh and gets the vote this time. Baker Blue holds place claims again, while the selection's stablemates Stock Market and Warsaw have to be looked at for market strength and for future reference. [Alan Hewison]

Speedily-bred Dark Angel colt cost 85,000gns as a yearling; strong favourite on last month's Naas debut, slow to break and green, running on again into second late on behind a Ballydoyle colt with previous experience (well held since in Group company); entitled to come on for that and major contender.
Bungle Inthejungle colt cost 18,000euros as yearling and 70,000euros at the breeze-ups; half-brother to six winners inc Aleezdancer (5f/6f inc 2yo; RPR 105), Avenue Of Stars (6f inc AW; 81), Navajo Spring (5f; 80) and Helen Sherbet (6f/7f AW inc 2yo; 74); dam 7f winner (inc 2yo/Listed; 98); tongue-tied for debut.
Couple of solid runs over this trip, at Tipperary and when staying-on third behind an odds-on shot (winner again since) at Cork last month; likely more needed here.
Promising debut effort when forcing much of pace in finishing third (head off runner-up Amiata) at Naas last month and similar tactics employed at the Curragh a fortnight later over 6f, rallying once headed when good second to a stablemate; keen-going sort drops back in trip here and stiff 5f could suit.
Acclamation colt didn't count after a tardy start on debut last month in good-class 6f maiden here; related to some speedy types so don't rule out improvement.
Raced prominently for a long way before fading into fifth in a 21-runner Curragh maiden last month; good bit more required here and drop back in trip could suit.
No Nay Never colt a 380,000gns yearling; brother to 6f 2yo winner Rizg (RPR 104), half-brother to winners Hotazhell (7f/1m 2yo inc Group 1; 116), Establish (GB/HK 1m; 96) and Bautzen (Italian 1m2f); dam 7f winner (77), closely related to 1m2f/11.4f winner Baadi; one of two Ballydoyle newcomers, market likely best guide.
Wootton Bassett colt is first foal of an unraced sister to Group 1 winners Forever Together (Oaks) and Together Forever (Fillies' Mile and dam of City Of Troy), half-sister to 1m Group 1 winner Lord Shanakill; superbly-bred newcomer although bred to want further; market best guide.
Ten Sovereigns filly cost 42,000euros as a foal and 50,000gns as a yearling; half-sister to four winners inc Qatari Hunter (9.4f/1m2f; RPR 107) and Paint Island (7f/1m inc 2yo/Listed; 96); dam 8.6f AW winner (78); mild debut promise at the Curragh last month without quite getting home over 6f; back in trip here.
A'Ali filly cost £30,000 as a yearling; first foal; dam Listed-placed 9.4f winner (RPR 95), half-sister to useful 1m2f winner Dark Red; third in Naas barrier trial last month.
