Agitare and Fiscal Rules represent Jim Bolger. The former has been narrowly beaten in strong maidens at Leopardstown and the Curragh and has Kevin Manning on board while the latter was only headed in the final strides by Wichita at the latter track. The winner's yard is represented by ROYAL DORNOCH, who is well exposed but would have to be the selection on his placed effort in the Richmond Stakes at Goodwood, and the newcomer Port Lockroy, who has a very strong middle-distance pedigree. Edward Hopper stayed on strongly to finish runner-up behind Brook On Fifth at the Curragh and the winner's stable is represented by Bright Idea and Spirit Of Sahara with the former looking a strong candidate here after a fine run at the Curragh.
