Aidan O'Brien appears to hold the cards in this contest and his star filly WINTER will be very hard to beat in her bid for a fifth consecutive Group 1. The dual Guineas winner is an uncomplicated sort and she's proved versatile ground wise. Roly Poly is another for the Irish Champion trainer who is worth considering and arrives here in search of her third straight Group 1 win. Persuasive has a decent each-way chance after an encouraging return from a significant absence last time out.
