Verdict

This could go to a newcomer, with the well-bred MONMOUTH catching the eye for Aidan O'Brien. He is taken to see off the challenge of Fate's Gambit, who is worth another chance to build on his debut promise now switched to turf, while Breaking Dawn could go well on his return.

  1. MONMOUTH (IRE)
  2. FATE'S GAMBIT (IRE)
  3. BREAKING DAWN
