Verdict

NATIVE WARRIOR wasn't seen at his best when seventh at Naas last time and Karl Burke's very smart sort is fancied to bounce back in style and open his account for 2026 here. East Hampton appeals as the one to give him most to do on the back of a good second in the Gladness ahead of Celestial Orbit and Oh Cecelia.

  1. NATIVE WARRIOR
  2. EAST HAMPTON
