      Verdict

      Address Unknown finished runner-up to Midas Touch in the Derby Trial at Leopardstown before a poor effort in a Listed contest at the Curragh. He was slightly impeded that day but it was still a disappointing run and he is overlooked in favour of LEO GALI. David Wachman's filly has been making good progress and had some very useful performers, including Awe Inspiring, behind when runner-up to She's Our Mark in the Group 3 Give Thanks Stakes at Cork. Rajik went from landing a handicap at The Festival to comfortably winning a Listed event at the Curragh and he's in superb form but the conditions of the race are not in his favour and Scandal Sheet, who was only just touched off in that Festival handicap, should take her revenge.
