Verdict

Aidan O'Brien has won three of the last four and has two entries. Joseph is on board Shogun, who started a short-priced favourite on his debut here last month but could only stay on at one pace. He's certain to improve and could have the better of stablemate London at this stage. Sunglider looked in need of the experience at Leopardstown last month but showed enough potential to suggest he would be winning before too long. Jim Bolger's juveniles have been in such good form that Cresendo has to be of interest while the latest running of Haraz should be ignored as his saddle slipped and he'd shown potential on his debut at Gowran. CLEAR SKIES cost J P McManus 500,000gns as a yearling and she's a half-sister to Motivator and Macarthur. She's handed the vote to make a successful start in an interesting maiden.
