In depth

Verdict

Aidan and Joseph O'Brien both have three entries. Seamie Heffernan has chosen Madonna but his mount was undoubtedly disappointing when a short-priced favourite at Thurles though should be better suited by this track. Wayne Lordan rides FRILL, a 900,000gns daughter of Galileo and a half-sister to the high-class Garswood and she's given a tentative vote. So Fascinating could prove best of Joseph's trio while Absolutely goes for Donnacha and she's out of the Irish Oaks winner Bracelet. Disco Boots makes a quick reappearance after a decent effort over 7f here on Monday.
