In depth
Verdict
Aidan O'Brien runs two three-year-olds against older horses. Dali won a Naas Listed contest in June though hasn't quite come up to expectations subsequently but LOST TREASURE is very much on the upgrade. He reappeared after a long break to land a Curragh maiden last month then beat today's rival Amanaat back there five days later. The latter has much the better of the weights this time but the winner looked to have a bit up his sleeve and can complete a quick hat-trick. Only Spoofing is sent from Yorkshire but he's been looking high in the weights since completing an early-summer hat-trick. Mister Trader also looks high enough and though Sors won here in April that was on heavy ground.
