This looks a good opportunity for FAMOUS NAME. He was found wanting at the highest level on his last couple of starts at Woodbine and in the Irish Champion Stakes here but before that he had won his first three starts of the season at this track in both Listed and Group 3 company. He can defy penalties for those successes and return to winning ways back in this grade. Devoted To You had stablemate You'll Be Mine as well as Choose Me behind when second in a Group 3 at Gowran in September and could prove the biggest threat to the likely favourite, but it may also pay to keep an eye on the betting to see if either of the recent debut winners Ezali and Riynaaz are fancied to go well stepping up in class.
