Aidan O'Brien has dominated this Group 2 over the years and GIANT SEQUOIA can take the step up in class in his stride on the back of his impressive success in a C&D maiden at the end of June. Chesham winner Nola Soul may provide a bigger threat than the selection's Group 3-winning stablemate Florida Bay.
