Verdict

The usual field of promising types for this Group 2 with AUGUSTE RODIN fancied to take another step forward with victory for Aidan O'Brien. Having looked unlucky on debut he proved a lot more professional when winning easily at Naas 2 months ago and can go on improving for a while yet. Stablemate Tower of London is an obvious alternative, while Serious Challenge looks another useful prospect for Jim Bolger.

  1. AUGUSTE RODIN (IRE)
  2. TOWER OF LONDON (IRE)
  3. SERIOUS CHALLENGE (IRE)
