Verdict

A chance is taken on the Jessica Harrington-trained CONFUSED. He made a pleasing debut at Cork when fourth to subsequent Royal Ascot winner Enceladus before staying on really well in a Gowran Park maiden to score. The son of Calyx is expected to improve further and can land this extremely tight contest. The Andy Slattery-trained Mo Mhurin was second in the Gowran Park Classic and can seek further improvement, while the likes of Summer Is Tomorrow and the Donnacha O'Brien-trained South Island, who has had his sights lowered after finishing fifth in the Group 3 Gallinule Stakes at the Curragh, also command respect.

Top Tip: Confused (1)
Watch out for: Mo Mhuirin (5)

SUMMER IS TOMORROW sets the standard on ratings and boasts an experience edge. He just failed to get up in a 9f handicap last time but could be tough to stop over this longer trip. South Island has been highly tried and will find this much easier than the Group races he has contested of late. He can chase the selection home ahead of the unexposed Confused whose debut form has been franked as has his cosy victory last time.
