In depth

Verdict

Geometrical has the form in the book with last week’s second over 6f at Naas but steps up in trip today having been beaten by a Ballydoyle inmate on that occasion. Aidan O’Brien runs three newcomers in this including MOGUL, who cost an astronomical 3.4 million gns as a yearling. A brother to three winners including high-class stable companion Japan, he may prove good enough at the first time of asking with Louisiana preferred to Memorabilis of the other Ballydoyle representatives. Dermot Weld introduces Timourid, a half-brother to winners and another newcomer to note.
