Verdict

GREEN DREAMER readily claimed the scalp of an expensive Ballydoyle recruit, who has won subsequently, at Leopardstown. That was a marked step forward from his introduction at Killarney and this appears well within range for the son of Churchill. His stable companion Seven Nation Army was a facile winner of a Galway Festival nursery last time out and he helps Joseph O'Brien to play a very strong hand. Oristown Boy, Lars Soldier and Noble Agenda are other progressive options to keep an eye on.

Top Tip: Green Dreamer (2)
Watch out for: Seven Nation Army (1)

GREEN DREAMER took a clear step forward from his debut when winning by a couple of lengths at Leopardstown last time and should have more to offer over this trip. Joseph O'Brien's yard has won two of the last five runnings of this race, and he's Dylan Browne McMonagle pick of the stable's runners, so he looks capable of following up. Emotional Hedging showed plenty of promise when runner-up on debut at Sligo and should improve for this step up in trip, while Seven Nation Army improved for returning to a longer distance when bolting up by 5l at Galway and can progress again taking this step up in class, although he is the second string for Joseph O'Brien on jockey bookings.
