Verdict
Surprisingly, Aidan O'Brien isn't on the list of trainers who have won this in the eight years since its inception but aims to put matters right with two entries. Easter should have the measure of stablemate Outstanding and also of Stellar Glow, whom she beat two lengths in a Listed contest at Gowran last month. Off Limits landed a Listed contest at Killarney and this slightly longer trip will suit but Marcus Tregoning will be hoping for some rain for Secret Pursuit, who hasn't run since landing a Listed race on heavy going at Saint-Cloud in November. Marsh Daisy also scored at that level in France last time but the vote goes to JACK NAYLOR, who has been competing at the highest level since beating Legatissimo at the Curragh a year ago and has never been beaten far by top-class opposition.
