      Verdict

      CHESS GRAND MASTER has some solid form to his name including when runner-up at Galway three weeks ago. Jockey Tom Hamilton has a 31% strike-rate (4/13) when teaming up with Joseph O'Brien-trained individuals so far this season and the pair can take this concluding contest. Days Without End is related to a couple of useful individuals and is taken to claim second on debut ahead of Dream Baie who is another from the Joseph O'Brien stable.
