Aidan O’Brien has won seven of the last eight renewals and a bold bid looks likely from KANGAROO VALLEY. The latter looks best of his yard’s three runners having placed at Killarney on his reappearance and will be sharper today. Hasankey finished behind the selection and gets first-time headgear but Karakhan may prove a threat despite disappointing at Cork last time and is weighted to beat Building Bridges. Gealach’s fifth behind Sir Dragonet looks better in hindsight and Novus Aditus is a newcomer to note.
