Verdict
Twenty original entries whittled down to three due no doubt to the testing ground. Jan Van Eyck showed the benefit of his opening run with a much better effort behind The Ferryman over the C&D last month but the winner and runner-up, LINE DRUMMER, are trained by Aidan O'Brien and the latter should have no problems confirming the form. Stablemate Ballyglasheen is by Galileo out of a Grade 1 winner in the USA and could be anything. He's in next year's Derby and his pedigree suggests he could be a star so the betting is best watched.
