Verdict

The pair with experience have shown nothing but Aidan O'Brien complicates matters with three entries. Kipling is a full-brother to Irish Oaks winner Seventh Heaven and a half-brother to Middle Park winner Crusade. Mythologic is a half-brother to eight winners though he's likely to do better later but LOPE Y FERNANDEZ is out of a mare who has produced winners with her first three offspring and the E900,000 colt gets the nod. Bright Idea is by Zoffany and the first foal of a USA winner by Galileo so he's another to keep an eye on as are Johnny Murtagh's trio with Borelli possibly the best of them at this stage.
