Verdict

The market should be a good indicator as to what's expected here but THE LUTE PLAYER, a half-brother to Sir Dragonet, is sure to be popular and he gets the nod to make a winning debut for Aidan O'Brien. Ultramarine sets the standard of the quartet that have been seen so far so he's taken to chase the selection home with improvement on the cards, ahead of Beauty Inspire and War Effort.
