Three of the last four renewals have gone to a Ballydoyle runner and Aidan O’Brien’s duo lead the ante-post betting. Ryan Moore plumbs for the unbeaten Ten Sovereigns, who ended last season with victory in the Middle Park over 6f here, while Magna Grecia signed off last year by landing the Group 1 Futurity over a mile at Doncaster. Madhmoon also represents Ireland having won a Group 2 over today’s trip on fast ground at Leopardstown but ADVERTISE recorded a Group 1 double when winning the Phoenix Stakes at The Curragh on the back of victory in the July Stakes - partnered on both occasions by Frankie Dettori. He wasn’t stopping at the end of the 7f here when runner-up in the Dewhurst in October but ran into a better horse on the day in the high-class Too Darn Hot - Martyn Meade’s colt is fancied to make a bold bid in the season’s first Classic. Skardu beat Momkin a neck in the Craven Stakes trial over track and trip last month with Set Piece and Royal Marine further behind and that looks strong form. The latter would prefer some cut but the other Godolphin runner Al Hilalee is a supplementary entry having won a Listed contest in France in August and he could be anything. Great Scot won the Greenham at Newbury with Urban Icon back in third while Kick On landed the Fielden Stakes here on the same day that Shine So Bright won the Listed Free Handicap.
