Verdict

Aidan O'Brien has dominated this race over the years and BROOME, who defeated a couple of today's rivals in the Alleged here last month, looks good to make it 3-3 for the campaign. This trip is on the short side for Twilight Payment but he could still be the one to give the selection most to do.

  1. BROOME (IRE)
  2. TWILIGHT PAYMENT (IRE)
  3. HELVIC DREAM (IRE)
