    Verdict

    Aeglos landed a Bellewstown maiden on good going in July and was tackling much stronger company when a staying-on third on testing ground at Galway last month. He can definitely improve but there must have been something amiss with The Rory Story, who finished a long way last in that event after scoring on the track a couple of weeks earlier. Minella Beau, who didn't quite last out over 3m at Cork, should do better over this trip but MONKSHOOD looks the one to beat. Gordon Elliott's charge ended the last campaign with an easy bumper victory and was very impressive in landing his maiden on his hurdling debut at Downpatrick last month.
