Verdict
Joseph O'Brien has five entries for this nice prize. Leopardstown winner Montesilvano should go well after a close third in a Deauville Group 3 and ground conditions will be in his favour. However, he was only sixth behind another from the yard, Voce Del Palio, in the lucrative Ballyhane Auction Stakes here in August and WUJDAAN, yet another from the stable, was only beaten a head by the latter when they were 1-2 at Roscommon in May. A cheaply-bought filly, the latter gets in here with a lowly weight and can make a successful return. Lord Massusus has hit top form but was receiving 9lb when beating With Love in a Listowel nursery and the latter gets 1lb here. Encosta has improved with every run and will enjoy the ground conditions.
