Verdict

Another maiden in which the O'Brien family can be expected too collect. Both Latrobe and Gardens Of Babylon are open to further improvement over this longer trip and showed more than enough ability in filling the minor placings on their respective debuts at Leopardstown in October. However, it is the third Camelot colt HUNTING HORN who is the pick of stable jockey Ryan Moore, and whilst essentially a beaten odds-on favourite at Galway in September, his conqueror Hazapour (a stablemate of the unraced Hasanabad) was beaten less than 4L when placed in the Group 3 Eyrefield Stakes at Leopardstown on his sole subsequent start, so that form sets the benchmark.
  1. Hunting Horn
  2. Gardens of Babylon
  3. Latrobe
