Gelding by Toronado out of a Haafhd mare. Cost 20,000 guineas as a yearling and half-brother Baylagan third in the Listed Criterium du Bequet. Needs to improve on dour debut here at the festival.
Full-brother to useful 6f/7f winner Penny Pepper, and half-brother to several other winners. Not disgraced on debut at the Curragh last month but needs to improve here.
Galileo half-brother to the yard's dual middle-distance winner Triplicate. In rear and never nearer in a couple of career spins to date. Expected to improve sooner rather than later.

TINANDALI can improve and develop from his promising sixth of 13 beaten a little over 6L on debut at the Curragh earlier this month, a race that has seen seventh place Japan win at Listowel last week. The Ger Lyons-trained Excelcius, second at Killarney last month and Aidan O'Briens Sovereign can battle it out for the minor honours.
