      Verdict

      The Ballydoyle colt Christopher Robin failed to land the odds at the Curragh last time when finishing behind MEAGHER’S FLAG (NAP). The latter has subsequently gone close again when second in testing ground here 10 days ago and Jim Bolger’s colt gets the vote to go one better. The King will likely finish closer with last month’s introduction under his belt while Imaging is a brother to a winner and debuts for Dermot Weld.
