Verdict
DECRYPT attracted good support on his debut over the track and trip a couple of weeks ago but found Indigo Balance too good. He was staying on strongly at the finish and can go one better, though third-placed Vidiyni was also going on well. Cardini, who started favourite, could never really go the pace but ,like most of Aidan O'Brien's first-timers this season, will have come on for the run. The latter's yard also run All The King's Men, a €400,000 half-brother to four winners out of a Group 2 winner, and I Remember You, from the first crop of Australia out of a 6f two-year-old winner. Jessica Harrington trains Indigo Balance and Invincible Karma will do better than he showed on very heavy going here a month ago while Gotohawkeye also found similar conditions against him at the same meeting. Muntahez is very speedily-bred and one to keep an eye on.
