In depth
Verdict
Joseph O'Brien has been unable to conjure up a race for Royal Court but he keeps bumping into progressive rivals and failed to stay an extended mile at Cork last time. SUPER TREAT returned to action at the latter track and was unfortunate not to be in the firing line. He looked to be travelling well when impeded before running on and though dropping back in trip should have the pace for this. Baladiya made an encouraging reappearance at Naas and further rain would be to his advantage while Chamrousse wasn't punished when not quite getting the run of the race here last month and would have every chance on last year's form. Wartime Hero has been showing good speed over 7f so the drop in trip can see him in contention.
