Verdict
PRINCE OF ALL went close behind Cat O'Mountain in a Group 3 contest over track and trip a fortnight ago. He can go one better in this given the Ballydoyle duo Michaelmas and Afonso De Sousa were both well beaten in the same race. The latter had earlier finished ahead of Hold The Line when scoring over course and distance while Chance To Dance has claims on his earlier win at Leopardstown. Whitey O'Gwaun's victory at Galway came over 1m4f, Obliterator is struggling for form and Shanooan looks outmatched in this company.
