Verdict

Several promising sorts in opposition, including PROUD AND REGAL who has looked every inch a smart colt in the making, winning a Leopardstown Group 3 four weeks ago, and could be the answer with the prospect of more to come. The Aidan O'Brien trained pair Aesop's Fables and Hans Andersen are others fancied to feature.

  2. AESOP'S FABLES (IRE)
  3. HANS ANDERSEN
