PLACE VENDOME hasn't been seen since a well beaten runner-up to Takar last November but the winner has won at Group 3 level this campaign and Aidan O'Brien's Giant's Causeway colt should reappear with a victory. Shu Lewis will be ready to pounce if the Ballydoyle colt isn't ready as the triple-winning Bumper made a promising debut under Flat rules at Down Royal. Civil War made a very bright debut against Offer at Navan in May and didn't handle the softer ground at Leopardstown - he can do much better. Knight Of Bangkok ran his best race to date over slightly shorter here last month and Nashville is entitled to have come on for his debut at Naas. Beyond Berlin can prove best of the remainder.
