Verdict

Aidan O'Brien has won three of the six runnings of this including with Honolulu and Two Miles West. He relies on Scottish Reel here but the son of Sadler's Wells will need to improve on his seven-length second to Kaladena at Navan against several promising types. They include Mr Shinco, a close runner-up to Miss Coco at Wexford, Hawk Dance, who wasn't beaten far in a huge field behind Bright Horizon at the Curragh, and WELCOME ADDITION, who gets the vote after an impressive debut behind Hazarafa over 1m2f here in March and who is a full sister to a Grade 1 winner in the USA. Jim Bolger's newcomer Star Power, a son of Galileo out of a superbly-bred mare, is one to note for the future.
