Verdict
Ryan Moore has been snapped up for Hamish Macbeth, who quickly put the race to bed when odds-on at Salisbury but will find this very much tougher. LAST OPPORTUNITY made a very impressive debut at Leopardstown and normal improvement will see him in the frame so he gets the vote though there are numerous dangers. Maystar runs for Archie Watson, though he only scrambled home at Southwell, and Richard Fahey's Upstate New York has the experience to get competitive as does Richard Hannon's Ocasio Cortez and the stable have a habit of winning these big Sales events. Prince Of Naples has been competing in better company and is another to note.
