Verdict
Aidan O'Brien has three entries here, all by Galileo. Baton Rouge will need to make great strides from his debut but IOWA ran on nicely once getting the hang of the job here in June and can improve enough to take this. Tignanello is out of a Grade 1 winner in the USA and has an entry in the Group 2 Futurity. Donnacha and Joseph both have well connected newcomers engaged. Esteem is a half-brother to three winners while Thunder Moon is a half-brother to Listed winner Table Rock. Tashgheel, a son of Dark Angel, cost €240,000 and is the first foal of a 5f two-year-old winner while New Treasure is related to a couple of winners. Colour Sergeant has run well enough in his two starts to suggest he can get involved again but Noble Seal disappointed at Leopardstown after a promising debut there.
