Verdict
Aidan O’Brien introduces the 750,000gns Galileo colt Amedeo Modigliani and also runs the once-raced Rostropovich but Donnacha O’Brien rides Joseph’s MEDAL OF HONOUR. A half-brother to two winners, he has the benefit of experience and is improving with racing judged on his latest third at Leopardstown. Crecerelle has a very nice pedigree and Dermot Weld’s newcomer is worth monitoring for any support while Godolphin’s Port Lions looks sure to appreciate the extra furlong after staying on late over 6f at the Curragh.
