Verdict
VITALOGY was a 25/1 chance when landing a Naas maiden and Donnachie O'Brien has chosen to ride him rather than Harpocrates, who was just behind him at Naas before winning there on a return visit, or the progressive Royal County Down, who completed a double in a Galway nursery. Justifier attracted good support at Leopardstown and scored with a bit in hand though the runner-up has been beaten twice subsequently and though Lougher and Rebel Tale have both won they face stiff tasks here.
