The quick return of Navan winner GIUSEPPE GARIBALDI is a strong indication of the well-being of the son of Galileo and can add to his success here. The Fozzy Stack-trained Carlo Biraghi caught the eye when winning a maiden at the Curragh last month going clear of the nine-runner field in the closing stages in good style and the other O'Brien candidate Lucius Tiberius winner at the Curragh last month can dispute for the runner-up position.
