Verdict
Joseph O'Brien has three entries with Ming possibly the best of them after a very impressive victory at Dundalk. Aidan O'Brien also has a trio of runners with Ryan Moore on board Conclusion, though his mount was beaten in a moderate Leopardstown maiden two weeks ago. Sizzling has badly lost her form though has raced against stronger opposition while Boho steps out of a four-runner auction race at Roscommon when he beat much better fancied rivals. PLATINUM WARRIOR gets the vote as he was a 40/1 chance when tackling this grade at Leopardstown but belied his odds with a strong performance, though Harvestfortheworld ran well enough in the 1,000 Guineas Trial there to be considered. Cimeara takes a huge leap in class after landing a handicap on that latter track last month.
