Verdict

Aidan O'Brien has an excellent record in this and has two entries. House Of Aviz made an eye-catching debut in a 6f maiden here won by stablemate Mountain Bear but Seamie Heffernan is on board Ortelius, a $1.1million son of Justify who has a Dewhurst entry. OCEAN CONQUEST made a pleasing debut over 7f here behind subsequent Group 2 winner Henry Longfellow and normal progress will see him difficult to beat, though Starliner showed really good speed when beaten narrowly into third in what looked a strong Down Royal maiden. Rapid Mission and Pandion Power both showed debut promise while Tamrat could prove the best of the newcomers.
