In depth
Verdict
Joseph has two in this with Magnanimous, a €50,000 half-brother to two winners, preferred to State Of Rest. Surprisingly, only one of Aidan’s has stood his ground but GIORGIO VASARI is a half-brother to the speedy Sioux Nation and Isle of Innisfree so looks a likely type for a race like this in which most will probably need the experience. Like the selection, My Boy Charles is by Air Force Blue and he cost $280,000. However, he’ll almost certainly be suited by further than 6f. Turbo Spirit was badly hampered at Naas last week so could be interesting if getting a run from his reserve spot.
