Aidan O'Brien has won 11 of the 23 previous renewals and is represented by Cairo, a Curragh maiden winner who couldn't get to Spirit Gal when elevated to Listed level at Dundalk when Imadpour and Daamberdiplomat were behind, and the maiden Sierra Blanca, disappointing before a much better effort in a Curragh maiden. BOLD DISCOVERY was very impressive when beating Peking Opera, who runs earlier, at Naas, but King Of Scotia was surprisingly beaten at Dundalk when looking the likely winner for most of the race. Bay Of Plenty looked very promising at Naas and didn't look at his best when sent to York for a Listed contest. Lakota Seven has found Group 2 company beyond him the last twice while Tiverton needs to improve from a Listowel maiden victory. Clever And Cool was very slowly away at the Curragh and is better judged on a close fourth at this level there earlier.
