      Verdict

      The O'Brien clan dominate this and Aidan's three entries include DIEGO VELAZQUEZ, very impressive when landing the odds at the Curragh. Though taking on much stronger company, the son of Frankel can go in again. Joseph's Atlantic Coast was always travelling like a winner when beating Formal Display over three lengths at the Curragh and is certain to improve while Capulet had a nice education at Dundalk. Deepone looked very smart in early season though was beaten when stepped into Listed company at Tipperary.
