Aidan O'Brien has won this for the past two years and Seamie Heffernan, who has ridden both, plumps for the once-raced Brittany in preference to the newcomers Enchanted Forest, a half-brother to top sprinter Dutch Art, and the Montjeu colt Pawnee. Brittany hardly picked his feet up behind his stablemate Roderic O'Connor at the Curragh but that will probably prove to be a very strong maiden. Trans City was staying on over 7f at Tipperary and will have come on for the experience but it's Jim Bolger's USA-bred LATE DEBATE who gets the vote to make a winning start as he looks an ideal type for this trip.
