Aidan O'Brien had a strong entry for this race at the five-day stage and it's noteworthy that SIOUX NATION flies the flag for the Ballydoyle operation. The Scat Daddy colt has come up against some potentially useful rivals already and will be hard to master on that evidence. He is unlikely to be a stable star, however, and there is hope for connections of Yulong Warrior, who is related to plenty of winners and may give the selection a stern test. Tahan makes more appeal than the rest over this trip and may the best alternative at longer odds.
