ANCIENT EMPIRE put in his best effort so far when third at Kilbeggan earlier this month and he can make a winning handicap debut for trainer Joseph O'Brien. The selection wears cheekpieces for the first time in this and can get the better of top weight Celtic Monarch who can put an early fall last time out behind him by claiming third here while Make My Heart Fly is taken to get the better of Bronco Bill on just her second handicap outing.
