Verdict

TOP MOON left previous efforts in this sphere behind when finishing runner-up at Leopardstown 6 weeks ago, overcoming an early error and pushing his stablemate all the way to the line. He looks to have been found a perfect opportunity to go one better here. Myth Buster is feared most for the flying Henry de Bromhead/Rachael Blackmore combination, ahead of Lord Schnitzel.
