Verdict

The Ballydoyle representative ROYAL COUNTY DOWN holds all the aces here following a couple of battling wins at Down Royal and at the Galway festival last month. The already, tough and genuine Gleneagles colt sports first-time blinkers which can only assist in seeing off the likes of the Jessica Harrington-trained, Silence Please, winner on debut at Gowran Park in July and Marchons Ensemble, Pour Moi colt holding his form well in July. The Joseph O'Brien-trained, Mythologic appears a potential improver and can give a decent account of himself.
  1. Royal County Down
