Last year's Irish St Leger winner WICKLOW BRAVE won a Grade 1 over hurdles at Punchestown before a fine run in a Group 3 at Belmont and will be difficult to beat. Forgotten Rules looked a potentially high-class stayer in his early days but things haven't gone according to plan and he now looks Listed class at best. Stellar Mass was successful the only time he raced at this trip and last season's Irish Derby third should give a good account while Rekindling will find this less daunting than the Derby at Epsom though runs over this trip for the first time. Mick Channon sends Elidor from the UK and he showed this trip holds no fears when landing a Listed contest at Nottingham. Queen's Vase fourth Belgravia looks a nice staying prospect for Aidan O'Brien and can also make his presence felt.
