Abstract: Let $K$ be a number field with ring of integers $mathcal{O}_K$, and let ${f_k}_{kinmathbbN}subseteqmathcal{O}_K[x]$ be a sequence of monic polynomials such that for every $ninmathbbN$, the composition $f^{(n)}=f_{1}circ{f}_{2}circldotscirc{f}_n$ is irreducible. In this paper we show that if the size of the Galois group of $f^{(n)}$ is large enough (in a precise sense) as a function of $n$, then the set of primes $mathfrakpsubseteqmathcal{O}_K$ such that every $f^{(n)}$ is irreducible modulo $mathfrakp$ has density zero. Moreover, we prove that the subset of polynomial sequences such that the Galois group of $f^{(n)}$ is large enough has density 1, in an appropriate sense, within the set of all polynomial sequences.
