Expert Analysis
A one-sided Group 3, the long odds-on favourite having lots in hand and winning easily against three that are not up to this level.
A BOY NAMED SUSIE had been highly tried since winning his initial start at Killarney and landed a second win in facile style having his first start since the Eclipse. He tracked the front-runner before going clear in the final furlong and this sets him up for a run in the Irish Champion Stakes.
CHARLES FORT, having his first run of 2026, made the running before being left behind by the winner. He should improve for this run though it is hard to know what he achieved.
OMNI MAN looks flattered by this rating of 106 but found this trip on the sharp side having dwelt in the stalls and raced in rear.
REBEL ASCENDANT was out of his depth.
