The top rated Godolphin-owned TWILIGHT PAYMENT can land the spoils here following some fine performances over the season including fourth of six beaten 4¾L behind Flag Of Honour in the 257K Irish St Leger. Sir Erec looks an exciting improving sort and can battle with the solid and consistent Jessica Harrington-trained The King for the minor honours.
