Recent course winner Kibris has a Flat background and over this far he could be vulnerable to a horse of TRIGG's potential.
Kibris really impressed me when winning last time out, but unfortunately I feel the step up to 2m4f may stretch his stamina. If he doesn\'t win today, he\'s certainly a horse to follow when dropped back in trip.The Dan Skelton-trained Trigg does have to carry a penalty, but he was very impressive when scoring last time out and gets the verdict in the opener.
Selection: Trigg
- 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.
