Verdict
Back Down Under shaped nicely at Naas but is likely to need a major step forward against a number of well-bred debutantes. All three members of the O'Brien training fraternity unveil newcomers and the market may prove the best guide. On pedigree, Grand Job is just preferred for Joseph over Matrika and Mysteries for Aidan and Donnacha respectively but we'll take them on with GUNZBURG. Paddy Twomey's filly is a daughter of Sioux Nation and has a speedy pedigree being out of a Showcasing mare. September Leaves and Glor Tire are also of interest first time up.
