Aidan O'Brien, who won this a year ago with Together Forever, has three entries but all eyes will be on BEST IN THE WORLD. A daughter of Galileo, she's out of the brilliant Red Evie and is a full sister to the stable's Prix Marcel Boussac winner Found. She can make a successful start despite the presence of the progressive Rayisa, who just failed to hold off the more-experienced Simannka at Galway. Santa Monica was a 50/1 chance when running well in a Leopardstown Group 3 though that looks a bit of a fluke but Ceol Na Nog will have come on enormously for her run at Leopardstown where she looked in need of experience. Nudge and Typique are other newcomers to note in what looks an interesting maiden.
