In depth
Verdict
Dali was a little keen on debut at Dundalk and had nothing more to give when challenging the winner inside the final furlong. He still finished head of Mister Magic, however, and will be fancied to go one better here but Ballydoyle also run the speedily-bred US NAVY FLAG and it would be no surprise to see the War Front colt upstage his stable companion. Hawaam is a half-brother to two winners including the useful sprinter Waady so is one to keep on the right side while there is also some speed in the pedigree of Paparazzi.
