Verdict
MONUMENT VALLEY, by Galileo and a half-brother to four winners, has come up against two very smart stable companions since returning from a break including when runner-up to Serpentine at the Curragh a fortnight ago. It should be his turn to shine here though Taramansour finished a length in front of him when both were unplaced at Leopardstown earlier. The latter ran very well at Fairyhouse last time and looks a real threat. Eaglemont finished a long way behind Serpentine at the Curragh but will improve while Lady Hanson, another by Galileo, cost €220,000 and makes her belated racecourse debut.
