GORDON BENNETT won this race in 2022 and might be worth siding with to stage a repeat on the back of his encouraging run at the Curragh on Irish Derby weekend. Gavin Cromwell's Transcendental can continue her good start to the campaign and provide the chief threat ahead of handicap newcomer Speedwood and Jessica Harrington's Glamorously.
