Verdict

IMAGINARIUM is bred to be useful and was pretty clued up for his debut, showing fairly useful form when runner-up in a Leopardstown maiden 8 days ago. He can build on that effort to go one better this time around, with Painters Palette the one who can give the selection most to think about. Only For Me completes the shortlist.
