Verdict

A tricky race to unravel despite the small field but the vote goes to GEORGEVILLE, who shaped is if the run was needed when finishing down the field in the Alleged Stakes at the Curragh 4 weeks ago. That outing should've put him spot on for this and he can notch career success number 4. Aidan O'Brien's Ivy League will go on improving for a while yet so he's feared most chasing a hat-trick, ahead of Patrick Sarsfield.
