Preference is for NOBLE EXHIBIT, who made a promising debut when third at the Curragh and can step forward from that effort as he goes up in trip. He gets the vote ahead of stablemate City of Gold with Aidan O'Brien bidding for a fifth consecutive win in this race, while Leadlight was only edged out last time and could be thereabouts once more.
