In depth

Verdict

A tricky end to proceedings with plenty open to improvement including WORLD STAGE. Aidan O’Brien’s colt finished ahead of Sovereign Hill with Mac Chaparral well beaten when runner-,up at the Curragh last month. Dream Sleep was second over track and trip when a couple of lengths ahead of Hazama while the latter’s stablemate and newcomer Fidaaha is related to Group winners. Birds Of Prey finished in front of Sometimes A Fox when finding one too good at Killarney and is not out of this either.
