Verdict

Aidan O'Brien had ten entries at the early stage and still has three engaged. Intelligence Cross is related to six winners and out of a winning miler in the USA. Pennsylvania is by a top-class Dirt stallion out of a mare who won over 6f on Turf. SPORTSMANSHIP cost $500,000 is by War Front out of a mare who won over 7f in the USA and may be the one to be on. Jack Flash is very speedily-bred and will be tuned up for this by Ger Lyons while Grand Coalition didn't run badly on soft ground here last month and will have come on a bundle for the experience.
