Verdict

King Of The Throne finished mid-division in the Futurity at Newcastle won by Kameko but was then beaten at Dundalk when attempting to make all. LOUGH CUTRA was beaten narrowly by Ten Year Ticket on his debut on soft ground here in October with Tiger Moth in third. The latter pair both won at Leopardstown on Tuesday, the former a Listed contest, and Ger Lyons' charge found the going too testing on his comeback at Naas. Cabot Hills showed a bit of potential for Aidan O'Brien last summer and has transferred to Donnacha with Ballydoyle having three entries. Dawn Rising is the pick on form having made his debut in a Leopardstown Group 3 where he ran better than his finishing position suggests though Serpentine has a Royal Ascot entry so must be better than he showed at Galway. Galileo Chrome missed the break before staying on nicely over a mile on the latter track and his pedigree suggests this will be his trip.
