Aidan O'Brien has won three of the last four and Giuseppe Garibaldi is likely to be supported to keep up the sequence. Not beaten far in a Leopardstown Group 3 in October, he started a short-priced favourite at Cork last month but was all at sea on the heavy ground and beaten 24 lengths into third. He most certainly wouldn't want any more rain and stable companion Frankincense, who made a promising start at Navan last month, could improve past him. The stable also run Astronomer, a 600,000gns son of Galileo out of a 1m2f winner. Arthurian Fame finished a well-beaten runner-up in that Cork race but showed enough potential to be considered for this. Broad Street is by Sea The Stars out of a 7f winner but a chance is taken with DAWN TROUPER, who has numerous winning relatives and her stable is just starting to get into top gear.
