Verdict

Aidan O'Brien sends five runners in his bid for his eighth Irish 2,000 Guineas success since 2008 and MAGNA GRECIA will be his main hope. The son of Invincible Spirit was impressive when bolting up in his Classic success at Newmarket earlier this month and a reproduction of that run should see him go close here. Skardu looked a little unlucky with the draw that day and is one worth noting while Too Darn Hot is a threat to all back in trip, particularly if he can get cover and settle better.
