In what could turn out to be a messy and falsely run affair in the opener, the Joseph O'Brien-trained GRID can keep up the good form of the yard on debut. Son of Galileo, Ontario had a rough introduction at Naas last month and is likely to be better than his figures suggest, while Reve De Vol for the Ger Lyons yard and the Jessica Harrington-trained Sword Zorro should not be underestimated.
