Verdict

ALBANY COUNTY shaped with encouragement when second at the Curragh 21 days ago and is taken to go one better with improvement expected. Mount Meru, related to high-class Logician and out of a 2-y-o 1m winner, represents a top yard and could prove the main threat, while the well-bred Pirate of Penzance can make an impact if fully tuned up on debut.
