    Verdict

    Dermot Weld dominated this fixture for many years and has won this nine times in 20 years. TIVERTON will have been earmarked for a run here after a narrow defeat by Proud And Eagle at the Curragh and the winner boosted the form by landing a Group 3 at Leopardstown. Pivotal Trigger showed the benefit of his opening run when beaten a length at Tipperary while Cairo is a half-brother to a winner in the USA. Pearl Of Australia went for €72,000 at the two-year-old sales in May.
