Verdict

Aidan O'Brien has made a tremendous start to the season and IVY LEAGUE could be another winner for the yard. He built on his debut promise when recently landing a maiden at Dundalk and this well-bred colt is open to further improvement now pitched into a handicap off what looks a fair opening mark. Knightlaila also remains with potential and is next on the list, while Mister Wilson and Culcor are others to consider,

  1. IVY LEAGUE (IRE)
  2. KNIGHTLAILA
  3. MISTER WILSON (IRE)
