    Verdict

    Aidan O'Brien has won this on numerous occasions and GULLIVER'S TRAVELS can continue the sequence despite only scrambling home in a Cork maiden. He's up against a couple of tough older horses in Longbourn, runner-up in a Galway premier handicap last summer but not quite in that kind of form, and Dalvey, who had three victories here to his credit last winter. Gowran maiden winner World Famous has been finding the ground too lively and Hugh Horgan's claim puts him right in the picture while Marvelosa ran a fine race for a 150/1 chance in a Curragh maiden in June.
