      Verdict

      Leopardstown winner MIRDIF has since finished fourth in a Group 2 and a very good third at Listed and Group 3 level and deserves to get his head in front again. Leo Minor hasn't been beaten far in both starts over 7f and there should still be more to come from the Coolmore-owned son of War Front. Noivado wasn't far behind the selection on his debut and landed a Fairyhouse maiden last month. Group 1 entries suggest he's held in high regard and he can prove better than the remaining pair.
