Formscan By Alan Magee - Aidan O’Brien has dominated this Group 2 prize over the past decade and CONSTITUTION RIVER can add to the Ballydoyle trainer’s great record. The son of Wootton Bassett made a pleasing debut at Newmarket before going one better when justifying long odds-on favouritism over this trip at the Galway Festival. A Boy Named Susie looked a useful prospect when quickening clear to score on debut at Killarney, while Geryon defied a market drift when also making a winning start over course and distance a fortnight ago. Go Just Do It made a bright start when fourth here last month in a maiden that has been working out well since.
