    Verdict

    Aidan O'Brien is represented by newcomers CARAVAGGIO and Lundy. The former has a superb pedigree for artificial surfaces being related to several smart winners in the USA and may just have the edge over his stable companion, though he also should have plenty of speed. Eacharn made a very encouraging debut behind the O'Brien-trained Peace Envoy here earlier this month, though the runner-up was beaten when long odds-on last Friday. Tommy Stack's horses are running quite well so the Choisir colt Olympic Legend is one to keep an eye on.
