Verdict

Aidan O'Brien is represented by not one, not two but three exquisitely bred newcomer here. Of the trio BLENHEIM PALACE makes the most appeal as brother to dual Guineas hero Churchill and champion two-year-old filly Clemmie and the pick of Donnacha O'Brien. Sydney Opera House is stable second string but herself has a very smart pedigree so she too is respected. Of those with race form Dumouriez is preferred to Cruciatus with more scope for improvement.
  1. Blenheim Palace
  2. Dumouriez
  3. Sydney Opera House
