Verdict

Aidan O’Brien has sent out the last seven winners of this and it would be no surprise if BLUEGRASS improves from a recent debut over 7f here. He has the usual fancy entries for a Ballydoyle representative as does stablemate and newcomer Sweden. Good Heavens is another likely to finish closer today and makes more appeal than stable companion Explorers Way with Enthrallment and Yashin debutants to keep an eye on.
