Unless there is something decent amongst the newcomers, and Stamp Hill has the pedigree to do well over this trip, then this should be dominated by Mint Chai and ARD SAN AER. The former made a very bright start at Cork where he was going on strongly over the minimum trip. He's certain to have benefited from the experience, though it's Jim Bolger's charge who should have the call as his close second to his stablemate Mimicking at the Curragh was boosted by the winner's close second in Listed company subsequently.
