Ryan Moore's presence on board PEACE ENVOY suggests the Dundalk winner is the better fancied of the Aidan O'Brien pair though Ana O'Brien rode Hyzenthlay to a surprise victory on testing ground at Navan and keeps the mount. The former had King Electric just over a length behind and should confirm the form despite the 5lb worse terms as the runner-up had already had a run. Michael O'Callaghan won this last year and his association with Kieren Fallon is bearing fruit so the 60,000gns colt Sebastian Bach is one to note along with the three remaining entries, who are all well-connected.
