      Verdict

      Aidan O'Brien has won two of the last three and will be expecting TANG DYNASTY to keep up the sequence after a very encouraging debut behind long odds-on stablemate Capri at Galway. The son of Galileo looks a smart prospect and should justify his Group 2 entries. Drake Passage will be no pushover after his narrow defeat by Intern at Leopardstown though the winner finished behind Capri at Tipperary subsequently. Percy was only half-a-length behind the selection at Galway where he looked in need of the experience so he should get into the frame as De Vegas Kid looks held and the newcomer Hone The Younger faces a stiff task.
