      Verdict

      Aidan O'Brien won this a year ago with Chicago and KINGDOM can complete the stable double. He's been tackling very testing conditions and almost made all over 1m5f at Tipperary last time so today's trip should prove ideal. Hisaabaat, a Grade 1 winner over hurdles twice last spring, has never reached those dizzy heights subsequently but has won on fast ground so shouldn't be dismissed though he's more likely to be warming up for Galway. Solo Performer has won 11 races in a long career though whether he'll be allowed to take his chance after his second to Redera over 2m at Dundalk on Friday is another matter. Bensoon has never won over this trip but is rarely far away though on a high enough mark.
