Verdict

A potentially strong renewal for which it's hard to oppose FACILE VEGA, who eased to victory on debut, then barely broke sweat to land a Grade 2 event at Leopardstown. American Mike did everything right when scoring by wide margins on his two Rules outings to date, so he's likely to be on the premises for another top Irish yard, and the selection's stablemate, Redemption Day, is also a player.

  1. FACILE VEGA (IRE)
  2. AMERICAN MIKE (IRE)
  3. REDEMPTION DAY
