Verdict
Willie Mullins is well represented and MAZE RUNNER, a close third in the Irish Cesarewitch when three lengths in front of stable companion Royal Illusion, is taken to come out best of the quartet and land this. Jamie Spencer was on board when Arcadian Sunrise won over the trip at York and travels over for the ride and John Queally's charge should go close to completing a hat-trick. Coltor found 1m4f too short at Bellewstown after landing the Amateurs' Derby over 2m1f at Galway while Powerful Aggie is progressing nicely though has never been further than 1m4f.
