Verdict

MARITIME WINGS has already shown himself to be a very useful colt in the making and, with no Point Lonsdale to encounter here, is taken to gain a deserved first victory in pattern-race company. Aidan O'Brien has farmed this event in past years so Stone Age is feared most in the absence of his star stable companion. Once Upon A River and Absolute Ruler are two other promising colts to consider.

  1. MARITIME WINGS (IRE)
  2. STONE AGE (IRE)
  3. ONCE UPON A RIVER (IRE)
