Verdict

SHAKESPEARE is the mount of Ryan Moore from the Ballydoyle trio and can make it third time lucky in a race in which his stable has saddled a future Group 1 winner in each of the last 3 years. Anchor Road shaped well when third over C&D last time and may provide the chief threat. Loughrea N Roll and the selection's stablemate Raging Bull are just a couple of many newcomers in the line-up who are bred to have good futures.
