Verdict
Dermot Weld and Pat Smullen were in good form here on Wednesday and the Galileo colt MAGNOLIA RIDGE can keep up the good work. He progressed with racing in his first season but his pedigree suggests this should be his year and he can make a successful reappearance. Aidan O'Brien was also in fine form here two days ago and is double-handed this time though North Dakota looks his main hope. Another Galileo colt, he didn't attract much attention on his Naas debut in August but he's related to several winning middle-distance performers and looks certain to do better. Waver, the remaining entry from Ballydoyle, is yet another son of Galileo out of a winning miler. Sinour made a promising start in that event at Naas and, as he's very stoutly bred being from the family of Sinndar and Ascot Stakes winner Sindapour, he's another with decent prospects in his second campaign.
