Aidan O'Brien has captured this prize in five of the last ten years and can add to the tally with the exciting AIX LA CHAPELLE who overcame greenness to make a winning start in a Curragh maiden and can take this step up in class in his stride. Stablemate South Dakota ran a race full of promise when a debut fourth at the same track and could emerge as the main danger. George Scott's stylish Haydock scorer Sea Venture appeals as the pick of the home contingent ahead of outsider Whispering Moon.
