Aidan O'Brien has made a tremendous start to the season and IVY LEAGUE could be another winner for the yard. He built on his debut promise when recently landing a maiden at Dundalk and this well-bred colt is open to further improvement now pitched into a handicap off what looks a fair opening mark. Knightlaila also remains with potential and is next on the list, while Mister Wilson and Culcor are others to consider,
