In depth

Verdict

AGITARE is the form pick on his placed effort behind Mogul in a Leopardstown Group 2 in September and didn't appear to quite get home in the Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial over 1m2f back there earlier this month. Mr Wendell, Carrytheone and The Rain King all ran well at Naas with the former coming out best though there's unlikely to be much between the trio here. Delphi was beaten a long way at Tipperary in October but won't have enjoyed the heavy ground and has a Group 2 entry. Ming Warrior showed real potential last season and only just failed to catch the winner over 7f at Gowran when Mosala was behind while Sacramento was a bit unlucky in-running in a 1m2f Leopardstown handicap.
