If DIEGO VELAZQUEZ returns to the level he showed when landing a couple of Group races at Leopardstown last year he could prove a cut above this opposition. British raider Room Service has recorded 2 solid in-frame efforts in Group races over 7f this season and is second choice ahead of Irish 1000 Guineas runner-up California Dreamer, who had excuses when well held in the Jersey at Royal Ascot last month.
