Aidan O'Brien won this last year and Circle will come in for support though she didn't please everyone with her attitude when headed after making the early running at Gowran. Moonshed showed a bit of promise on his debut at Tipperary but didn't appear to last out when sent over 1m4f at Leopardstown where the ground was bottomless. EBAZAN made his racecourse debut over this C&D in April where he was surprisingly beaten a short-head by stablemate Aklan. The winner has since been successful in a Listed contest so the form looks strong and with further progress likely the half-brother to Group 3 winner Emiyna can take this before going on to better things. Authorization made a promising start at Cork in October but may need this after such a long absence.
