Verdict
Camorra is getting better with racing and made all to land a Leopardstown Group 3 for which he's penalised. Irish Lincolnshire winner Layfayette scored at this level at Roscommon in June while the very smart hurdler Jason The Militant won easily on his only start under Flat Rules just over a year ago. Patrick Sarsfield is easily the pick on official ratings but has only had one run over this trip and was well beaten so the vote goes to the very progressive THE BLUE BRILLIANT. Jessica Harrington's charge completed a double at maiden and handicap level before caught on the line in a Deauville Group 3. She holds Sweet Molly Malone on their run at Killarney though the latter showed improved form over the track and trip last time.
