Verdict

Aidan O'Brien has had a stranglehold on this contest in recent seasons, but this year he may be forced to play second fiddle to son Donnacha in the shape of ALDER, who relished the step up in trip when scoring at Cork on return just under 3 weeks ago and he can take this step up in class in his stride. San Antonio is put forward as the main danger after his impressive display at Dundalk, with Local Dynasty and Passenger another couple fancied to be in the mix.

  1. ALDER (IRE)
  2. SAN ANTONIO (IRE)
  3. LOCAL DYNASTY (IRE)
