Charlie Appleby continues to hold full confidence in OPERA BALLO (4) judging by his comments following a success in the Listed Henry Cecil Stakes at Newmarket (July) last time. Having shown tendencies to over race throughout his career he settled better at Newmarket and could prove a class above these. Danger might come from COSMIC YEAR (1) who is down in grade. Followed home a noted performer tackling this trip in the G1 Irish 2000 Guineas before struggling when dropping to 7f in the G1 Prix Jean Prat at Deauville. KING OF CITIES (3) finished more than 4L behind the second mentioned when the pair met at Newmarket (July) last time. In the mix to secure a placing. SEAGULLS ELEVEN (5) holds each-way claims.
