Verdict

Aidan O'Brien's LEWIS CARROLL was too green to do himself justice on debut here last June but this son of Siyouni still holds an Irish 2000 Guines entry so can prove a different proposition on his return. Joseph O'Brien took this 12 months ago and his Listentodwindblow seems sure to go well along with fairly useful hurdler Thisistheway who makes just her second start on the level.
