Aidan O'Brien has won this for the last two years and is double handed here. Immortal Bridge was a 16/1 chance when beaten a long way at Naas but it will be a surprise if he doesn't show considerable improvement as he didn't get the best of runs. IDAHO cost 750,000gns and is a full brother to Group 1 winner Highland Reel. He's taken to make a successful debut though Munaashid looks a major threat. Dermot Weld's charge was well supported on his debut here last month and though only sixth behind Hit It A Bomb that form has worked out very well. Theodorico finished just in front of him but already had the benefit of two runs and the form can be reversed. Mittersill ran a cracking race behind Newsman at Gowran and the fourth came out and won easily over the weekend.
