      Verdict

      Ex Patriot stepped up to this trip at Leopardstown and started favourite on the back of a very good previous run at the Curragh but could only stay on at one pace. Treasure Chest made a reasonable start over 1m4f at the Curragh and didn't have the pace to catch the odds-on An Cailin Orga over 1m2f at Leopardstown. MAGNOLIA ROSE made her debut over the track and trip in May and hasn't run since. She couldn't quite hold off Immortal Bridge that day and the long absence is a concern but she looks to have more scope than these rivals so is handed the vote.
