Verdict

Raadobarg completed a hat-trick for Roger Varian last summer and was heavily supported on his debut for new connections in the Lincoln at the Curragh where supporters hardly had a moment's concern. His credentials will be put to the test here as conceding 9lb to EMPHATIC ANSWER may prove beyond him. Joseph O'Brien's filly has been performing well in Listed and Group 3 company since landing a Curragh handicap last July and will have been sharpened up by last month's reappearance. Lust ended the last campaign with a very easy victory on soft ground at Gowran while Real Force, a heavy-ground winner, ran much better than expected at the Curragh earlier this month. Baradar, like stablemate Raadobarg, had some fine form for Roger Varian which included a placed effort in the Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster.
