        Verdict

        The all conquering O'Brien yard, look to hold the key to this with Tomahawk. A $2,500,000 half-brother to a winner in the US, he had no trouble in disposing of Cat Belling at the Curragh, who then went on to win his maiden. The home challenge is led by Bahamian Dancer, who looked in need of the run at Yarmouth behind Membership, who gave that form a solid look, when just out of the places in the Group 3 Coventry Stakes on Tuesday. Both Celtic Sapphire and Helm Bank, like most of their stablemates, are sure to have improved for their debut's, while Pinkerton, a wide margin winner at Windsor, has more to do in this company. River Celebre, who looks the pick of the Barry Hills pair and Bravo Dancer are others to note.
