Verdict

CADILLAC was well supported for a Leopardstown maiden last month and backers hardly had a moment's concern as he swept the opposition aside to score by 9 lengths. The runner-up won a decent race next time and Jessica Harrington's colt can take the step-up in grade in his stride. Military Style made all in a Group 3 on the same track, just holding the strong-finishing Van Gogh, who is the choice of Seamie Heffernan here. Southern Cape and Mac Swiney were behind and look held while the remainder all look as though they have something to find.
