      Verdict

      Sword Zorro has been a bit unfortunate to bump into a couple of smart Ballydoyle youngsters including when a length behind dual Group 1 runner-up Wembley at Roscommon. That sets the standard though Aidan O'Brien should know how he stands with HOROSCOPE, a 300,000gns son of No Nay Never. He really caught the eye behind stable companion Khartoum at the Curragh and can improve past Jessica Harrington's charge. The Piano Player also represents O'Brien but he'll need to improve dramatically from his run at Limerick. The remaining pair with experience have shown nothing and Herecomesharry was very cheaply bought.
