The biggest field in this race for years. ROMEO COOLIO has sidestepped the Arkle in favour of an attempt at this much longer distance and, though his latest pair of Grade 1 wins have been gained around 2m, he's long since left the impression this sort of trip could suit him. Kaid d'Authie looked good when seeing off Western Fold and Final Demand at the Dublin Racing Festival and is second choice ahead of Henry de Bromhead pair Koktail Divin and The Big Westerner.
