Verdict
Air Vice Marshall won the first running of this last year and Aidan O'Brien can repeat the process with SIR EDWIN LANDSEER. He chased home two stablemates at Leopardstown when not given a hard time and, with normal progress, should take this. Randall Stevens didn't show much on his debut but put the experience to good use with an eye-catching second to Branch Line at Roscommon and looks a threat. Dermot Weld and Jim Bolger have newcomers to look out for. The former is represented by Firey Speech, who is by Street Cry out of a mare who won between 6f and a mile while the latter has Vocal Response engaged and he should be ideally suited to this trip. Joseph O'Brien's Intricately is out of a mare from the family of Rock Of Gibraltar while Ger Lyons' Brutal cost a whopping £250,000 and is by Pivotal out of a winning miler.
