Verdict

Joseph O'Brien looks to have a strong hand here and his useful THE PUBLICAN'S SON, who was highly tried as a juvenile, is taken to get off the mark at the fifth attempt in this much less exacting company. Stablemate Starred appeals as the one to chase him home ahead of once-raced pair Sancerre Rock and Shaws Bay.
