Leopardstown

Five runners, all trained by members of the O'Brien family. Aiden O'Brien has won this in recent years with Auguste Rodin and Diego Velazquez and has a strong hand here with BENVENUTO CELLINI and Montreal, the former a raw type with likely plenty of improvement in him and already proven on this sort of ground. Donnacha runs A Boy Named Susie, who probably didn't do himself justice in the Futurity but should relish these conditions, while the pick of Joseph's pair looks to be Hardy Warrior, winner of a C&D maiden on similar ground.
