      Verdict

      This is almost a repeat of the Group 3 Alleged Stakes here three weeks ago when Layfayette was very good value for his victory over High Definition with Bear Story third, Gear Up fourth and Visualisation last. There were no real hard-luck stories and the winner had beaten Bear Story at Naas earlier when they were split by the Frankel colt LICENCE, who was having only his second start. He's taken to go one better though Cadillac, who has been successful at Group 2/3 level, is an obvious threat despite a moderate run at Leopardstown.
