Verdict
The last six of these have gone to Ballydoyle including with Gleneagles, Churchill and Anthony Van Dyck. Military Style beat subsequent winner Eastern Voice at Naas then looked as though a longer trip was required when a close third in a Curragh Group 3. Swiss Ace made an impressive start at Tipperary before finding the Group 2 July Stakes at Newmarket beyond him while Van Gogh led for a long way over the track and trip last month in the race won by Masen and will have come on a bundle for the run. The winner started odds-on and always looked in command, despite winning narrowly from today's rival Charterhouse, and looks certain to get into contention. His yard also run Reve De Vol, who was awarded the race at Fairyhouse when subsequent winner Ontario was disqualified. Vafortino beat subsequent easy winner Meala over the track and trip last month but State Of Rest was beaten a length by Ebeko here and the winner had finished nine lengths behind CADILLAC when Jessica Harrington's charge was a hugely impressive winner here last month. Southern Cape enjoyed the testing ground at Gowran so further rain would enhance his prospects.
