In depth
Verdict
Cleveland was going on at the finish over this trip at Tipperary and is the type to carry on improving. He looks best of the Ballydoyle trio though the Galileo colt Interpretation is definitely one for the notebook as he's very stoutly bred. Jim Bolger's Coolcullen is by Camelot out of a Listed winner so he'll be suited by this trip while Ebasari is certain to have come on for his run at Leopardstown. KAILASH has looked a real staying type in all three starts and with trip and ground certain to suit he can get off the mark at the fourth time of asking.
