Sugar Island is a daughter of Dubawi who was impressive when beating Saint Agatha on debut at the Curragh. She’s shaped like she could step up to a mile, and I’m pleased Ryan Moore has sided with her out of the Ballydoyle pair. She’s the most likely winner of this Group 3.

I’m not convinced with Mission Central, who’s hung badly on both starts to date. There wasn’t much between Ipanema Queen and Magny Cours when they were second and third, respectively, at Naas over 5. Ipanema Queen looks better suited to that trip, and I can’t believe the difference in price at the time of recording. Magny Cours at the price is the one that really stuck out to me.

Barnavarna got away from Red Letter at Navan, and when Red Letter loomed up with her run, Shane Foley had kept enough and was able to repel the challenge. Red Letter then went to Killarney and was drawn quite high and raced very wide and ended up in front a long way from home. She was able to hold off Fiery Lucy, and it looked like stepping up in trip would suit her. This trip will suit her, and she looks like the right favorite.

One at a price is Jagged Edge, who we haven’t seen in a long time. It looks like they’ve kept him for this, and Wayne Hassett takes off a handy 3 lb.

State Actor is the one for me, especially since his main ante-post rival, Glen to Glen, hasn’t been declared. He’s my NAP of the day in the Paddy Power Supporting Cancer Trials Ireland Irish Cambridgeshire!
