Verdict

Aidan O'Brien has three entries with Ryan Moore on board WATERVILLE. A son of Camelot out of a mare who has produced winners with her first eleven foals including Irish Oaks winner Sea Of Class, he can keep up the family tradition before heading for better things. Glory Daze is the form pick of those with experience having been impeded at a crucial stage of the Group 3 Eyrefield Stakes at Leopardstown in October while Olympicus, a son of American Pharoah and a half-brother to a Group 1 winner, is another newcomer to note. The fillies Hazra and Insulate are others to keep an aye on.
