ASPEN COLORADO won two Leopardstown bumpers before finding the championship race at Punchestown too hot despite being well supported. The son of Galileo looks a fine addition to Joseph O'Brien's string. Golden Poet won a Kilbeggan bumper in good style but couldn't repeat the process at Tipperary where he pulled very hard. Sanibel Island showed the benefit of his debut in February when battling to victory at Ballinrobe in May, though he still looked in need of the experience. He looks the main threat as the remainder with form have shown little.
