Verdict
Concert Hall looks best of the Ballydoyle pair after a good effort in the Moyglare though she finished behind SUNSET SHIRAZ, who didn't quite have the pace of the front pair but looks the one to beat. Hello You won the Group 2 Rockfell at Newmarket on Friday so is unlikely to take her place here. Joseph O'Brien has three entries. Albula was caught in the closing stages when tackling a mile in Group 3 company here while Listed winner Seisai is possibly better with some give in the ground. Tranquil Lady was very impressive in a Galway maiden but takes a big step-up in class as do Cigamia and Trevaunance from their maiden victories.
