Probably the race that lacks depth on the card but a solid enough contest in its own way. War Of Succession has shown that he is more than capable of winning a contest like this but the Balding yard have not made the quickest start to the turf season and SHARP DEFENCE is selected against him for a little bit of value. His Leopardstown form reads well in the context of this race and he may just be able to edge out the likely favourite here. What’s The Story is respected and Manshood an interesting runner although it may well be handicaps that see him in a better light.
