Take Me To Church (3/1), Atlantic Coast (3/1), Samuel Colt (4/1), Bright Stripes (6/1), Battle Cry (10/1), The Liffey (10/1), Chicago Critic (16/1), My Mate Alfie (20/1)
TAKE ME TO CHURCH looks ready for this step up in class judged on his impressive handicap debut success at Naas and he is taken to complete the four-timer. There wasn't much between Atlantic Coast and Bright Stripes in the Killavullan Stakes here during the autumn and they should be on the premises once again, while The Liffey could be the pick of the Ballydoyle trio, despite being passed over by Ryan Moore in favour of Battle Cry.
