      Verdict

      Aidan O'Brien won this five times in succession, including with Camelot, before Jim Bolger interrupted the sequence last year. The former had a massive entry at the early stage and relies on two with GENERAL MACARTHUR preferred over Unicorn. The son of War Front is closely related to a host of winners including Group 1 winner Horatio Nelson and Viscount Nelson, who won this in 2009. Unicorn is related to winners and is by no means a second string while Bolger saddles the Teofilo filly Ceol Na Nog. Whiskey Zulu looked in need of experience at Tipperary and looks best of those who have had a run.
