Verdict
Aidan O’Brien has won seven of the last 10 renewals and NEWFOUNDLAND makes most appeal in this. He finished runner-up over course and distance on his penultimate start and can go one better with Ryan Moore back on board. Como Park represents last year’s winning yard and the latter finished in front of stablemate Carlton Gardens, First Emperor and Fourofakind when placed at Leopardstown. He looks a threat while Malabu Drive steps up from 1m2f and Willie Mullins runs the newcomer Raving Royal.
