Verdict

Aidan O'Brien has three entries here. Athena has disappointed but Most Gifted and Darkness Falls, both by War Front, are very interesting and have multiple classic entries. The former's dam has produced winners with her first four foals and could be a smart prospect while the latter ran a nice race behind a stable companion at Naas in October and will be expected to kick on this campaign. WISDOM MIND had some decent form in France last year and made a promising start for Joseph O'Brien when runner-up to Hand On Heart at Limerick. The winner can give the form a boost earlier on the card. Dermot Weld's newcomer Hasimiyya is in the Irish Oaks and is one to keep an eye on.
