Verdict

Aidan O'Brien and Ger Lyons have shared the last five between them. The latter is represented by Lightening Fast, who has looked in need of this longer trip in his two starts to date and was behind TAJ MAHAL here last month. The Ballydoyle colt was undoubtedly disappointing behind stable companion Lancaster Bomber at Leopardstown but still looked green and gets another chance to show his true potential. Yucatan is another from the O'Brien camp and he'll definitely improve for his run behind Utah over this track and trip. Captain Hardship was only just behind the selection here while Cashless is a newcomer to make a note for the future.
