Aidan O'Brien has won this four times in the past 10 years and John Oxx has three victories to his credit. The Ballydoyle team are represented by Freedom, who makes a belated return to action wearing blinkers for the first time and may just need the run. Johnny Murtagh has chosen the newcomer KAYALAR of the Oxx-trained quartet and this half-brother to Group 2 winner Katiyra looks the one to be on especially as the stable's Cape Of Good Grace has enough form in the book to be fancied for this and Raydari would be expected to make good progress from his debut at Limerick last week.
