If the worst projections of the rainy forecast are realised, there may be grounds for taking Coumeenoole on with PRESENTANDCORRECT.
Coumeenoole is likely to be a very short-priced favourite, but it\'s easy to see why. Harry Skelton takes the ride and the return to maiden company looks a significant drop in class. On what we\'ve seen so far, he appears to hold strong claims and will be extremely tough to beat.
- CONFUCIUS. I watched his win in Ireland and what stood out most was how green he looked during the early stages of the race. However, once he started to understand what was being asked of him, he simply took off and won almost on the bridle by nearly four lengths.
As always, Ryan Moore has had plenty of options and the fact he has chosen to ride this €1.7 million colt speaks volumes. Out of all the runners Aidan O\'Brien sends to the race, this is the one Moore wants to be on. If CONFUCIUS improves again from his debut effort, we could be looking at a very special performance.
