FormscanBy Donal Murphy - The first foal out of brilliant four-time Group 1 winner Alpha Centauri, SATURN is the standout name. While friendless on debut at the Curragh on Derby weekend, the grey colt went down fighting and was beaten by just half-a-length. He is sure to come on plenty for that experience and looks the one to beat. Kadeen has two solid efforts to his name but was two-and-three-quarters of a length behind the selection at the Curragh and it's difficult to see him reversing the form now. Tommy Thug made some late gains when eighth behind the aforementioned pair on debut and it'll be interesting to see if he can build on that effort. The 80 rated Teorie is sure to have plenty of supporters, while others that warrant respect are Velvet And Vine and newcomer Rioja Alta.
