        Verdict

        This looks wide open but perhaps lacks the quality of previous renewals. The Irish may hold the upper hand and Andreas Vesalius is interesting having beaten two subsequent winners, including Twilight Jet, at Naas. But he has something to find on collateral form with CADAMOSTO, who impressed at Dundalk and is certainly bred for sprinting being by the 2013 winner No Nay Never out of an Invincible Spirit mare who was a 6f winner as a juvenile. Wesley Ward’s pair Lucci and Nakatomi both made winning debuts and will likely make a bold bid to give their legendary US handler a third win in this Group 2 while Go Bears Go might prove the pick of the home team having blazed a trail here last month, though the form has yet to be franked. Instinctive Move, Korker and Perfect Power should also go well.
