Aidan O'Brien sent out Intelligence Cross to take this contest in 2016, and he is responsible for three of the thirteen runners today, including Coventry Stakes flop US Navy Flag. He has a couple of fair C&D efforts to his name, and his third placing behind Brother Bear in the Listed Marble Hill Stakes makes him the pick, but this race comes up quickly on the back of Royal Ascot and it's disconcerting to see the blinkers applied. O'Brien is also responsible for Battle Of Jericho, and whilst he is also fitted with blinkers he should be sharper than on debut when just under 2L third to Lethal Steps. However, the filly DAWN DELIVERS finished one place in front of him in that contest after attracting good market support, and despite the forecast softer ground, she's capable of going one better with Jim Bolger seemingly well aware this daughter of Dawn Approach has plenty of ability.
