Verdict
The Warrior made a winning return in a maiden race at the Curragh last month but the Ballydoyle colt is better judged on last year's sixth in the Middle Park. But he could be worth taking on with BOSSY GUEST given the latter was placed in a couple of valuable sales race here at the end of last season beating Ballymore Castle and Heartbreak Hero on both occasions. Sulaalaat's second at Salisbury in September looks stronger form than the maiden victories of Encore D'Or, Nuno Tristan and Excellent George and Brian Meehan's filly could also go well.
