      Verdict

      Aidan O'Brien has won seven of the last nine renewals and OBLIGATION can continue the trend. The son of Galileo was well suited when stepping up to this trip at Tipperary where he made all for an emphatic victory over today's rival Tiz The Shot and can only improve. The runner-up has since scored nicely over a mile here and the form looks useful. Banksters Bonus is bred to be useful over middle-distances but it was still a surprise when he proved good enough to score on his debut at the Curragh. He will have come on for that and rates a big threat but the remaining pair will need to show improvement on what they have produced to date.
