FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Curragh Cup runner-up GROSVENOR SQUARE can go one better in this slightly lesser grade. Having built up a sizeable early lead on that occasion, the three-year-old looked the most likely winner at the furlong pole, only to be caught close home. Now that connections can be assured of his stamina, the Galileo colt is lightly to be ridden with more restraint. Absurde, winner of the Ebor and County Hurdle, is likely to have a repeat bid for the Melbourne Cup as his main target. With that in mind, the Willie Mullins-trained gelding is entitled to be all the better for this run. A Piece Of Heaven, who was far from disgraced at Royal Ascot last time, should be capable of better now that he steps back up to this longer trip.
