ELARQAM is hard to oppose here. Mark Johnston's charge lost nothing in defeat in what would appear to be a strong 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket last time and with the prospect of more to come, he looks like the one they all have to beat here. U S Navy Flag could be worth giving another chance to provided the rain stays away after a couple of poor efforts on heavy ground. Zihba is less exposed than most in here and may take a step forward from a run at Leopardstown last time out.
