Verdict
Aidan O'Brien has won three of the last four and has three entries. After a promising debut at the Curragh, Master Of The Hunt was beaten when long odds-on at Listowel when still looking green. Autumn Winter is a son of Galileo out of a mare who produced a winner with her first offspring. South Pole was well beaten behind a stablemate over a mile at Navan when Rocking Tree was headed on the post. The latter had earlier finished behind SHAMSUDDIN when Johnny Murtagh's charge finished runner-up at Punchestown and that form could be strong enough for this.
