Verdict

BUCANERO FUERTE ought to be happier back on less testing ground and can leave his Cork reappearance effort well behind and stretch his unbeaten Naas record to 3. Aidan O'Brien's Mission Central does need to prove he's fully effective at the minimum trip but he was a very classy juvenile last year and is still feared most ahead of British raiders Fahrenheit Seven and Getreadytorumble.

2	Smart performer who has wins in a 6f Group 3 and a listed over 5f to show from his 2 visits to Naas. Possibly unsuited by very testing ground when well beaten on reappearance and could leave that well behind back on what should be a quicker surface now. 1st Pick 2 Bucanero Fuerte Jockey: David Egan Trainer: Robson De Aguiar, Ireland J: David Egan T: Robson De Aguiar, Ireland	100	-	-	-	29%

15	3-3 over 6f last year, including Curragh Group 3 and valuable conditions race at Ascot on Champions Day. Not so good over 5f, although there were excuses in Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint at Del Mar final start. Has to enter calculations on return but the fact it's 5f tips the vote elsewhere. 2nd Pick 15 Mission Central (Ire) Jockey: Ryan Moore Trainer: Aidan O'brien, Ireland J: Ryan Moore T: Aidan O'brien, Ireland	95	-	-	-	15%

6	Not long with the Robert Cowell yard but smart handicap performances when landing big-field events over 5f at Newcastle and Southwell in recent months. Those efforts suggest he can hold his own now stepping up to listed level. 3rd Pick 6 Fahrenheit Seven Jockey: Ben Martin Coen Trainer: Robert Cowell J: Ben Martin Coen T: Robert Cowell	98	-	-	-	25%
