In depth

Verdict

Aidan O’Brien won this last year and runs both Orderofthegarter, an easy Listed winner at Leopardstown last month and Peace Envoy, partnered by Ryan Moore. South Seas, Kings Gift and Salsabeel look to have tough tasks but Rivet was runner-up in the Craven at Newmarket last month and could figure. Jean-Claude Rouget is looking to win this for the first time and has strong claims of doing so with Brametot. The latter beat Spotify when landing a trial race at Chantilly last month while Andre Fabre runs the unbeaten duo Inns Of Court and Le Brivido and Freddie Head steps Mankib up in class. But NATIONAL DEFENSE makes most appeal having won the Group 1 Jean-Luc Lagardere in great style last year and expected to be a lot sharper for last month's second to subsequent 2000 Guineas third Al Wukair with African Ride back in third.
