      In depth

      Verdict

      Richard Hannon sent Lilbourne Lad to win this last year and will be hoping recent Goodwood winner Mister Marc can follow suit as he was impressive enough that day. However, the home challenge is very strong this time and DAWN APPROACH will take some beating. Jim Bolger's colt won the opening juvenile race of the season at the Curragh by just under two lengths from Canary Row and more than doubled that margin when beating him over this C&D last month. He looks the one to be on though Cougar Ridge was impressive when scoring at Leopardstown and the Ballydoyle newcomer Pedro The Great is a half-brother to 2000 Guineas winner Footstepsinthesand and other winners.
