Verdict
Joseph O'Brien rode last year's winner for father Aidan and has a runner of his own this year in the form of the twice-raced Pronounced. But O'Brien senior should hold sway with the Galileo colt SIR EDWIN LANDSEER expected to make it third-time lucky after stepping up on his debut third at Leopardstown with a second at Gowran, where he finished ahead of Brutal and Randall Stevens. Born To Be is a half-brother to a 6f winner so could be a newcomer to note.
