In depth

Verdict

Girolamo, a full-brother to two winners, made a promising start over this trip at Leopardstown and, with progress guaranteed, will take some beating. However MOUNT EVEREST, who is related to numerous winners at a high level, made an eye-catching debut over 7f at the Curragh last month and the Group 1 entry can improve enough to take this for Ballydoyle. Claim The Lady also caught the eye at Killarney when staying on from an unpromising position while Calorific ran better than expected on soft ground at Galway. The latter's stable companion Ozone is related to several winners and one for the future.
