UK raiders have a good record in this so Kevin Ryan's Dream Of Dreams, who overcame trouble in running to beat a strong field at Haydock, is definitely one for the shortlist. Grand Coalition had been beaten by King Electric on his debut at Cork before winning here but was well beaten in the Coventry Stakes. The latter continues to improve and followed his narrow victory over PEACE ENVOY here with a very easy success at Navan though it would be no surprise to see Aidan O'Brien's charge turn the tables after his excellent run in the Norfolk Stakes and he gets the vote. War Decree made a big impression over 7f on fast ground at Leopardstown and dropping back in trip on this easier going won't be a problem.
