Verdict

ULTRAMARINE sets a good standard for a race like this on his recent National Stakes fourth and has to be considered the one to beat. Straight Answer was very strong in the betting prior to his Curragh debut success, suggesting he's well regarded by the Ger Lyons team, and he can provide the main Joseph O'Brien's charge.
