14:20 Leopardstown

This looks a strong renewal but I’m keen to side with the progressive ATLANTIC COAST for Joseph O’Brien. This colt made a winning start at the Curragh before finishing third behind Diego Velazquez and Capulet. He showed his liking for testing ground to get up late in tough conditions over C&D on final start and has potential to do better again as a 3yo. He clearly likes this track and with conditions ideal he is hard to pick holes in. Take Me To Church impressed at Naas and is a threat but he will find this tougher. Battle Cry is also unexposed so should take a step forward this term and could also pose a threat if fit enough on his return.
