Aidan O'Brien has won this for the past two years and will be fancied to make it a hat-trick with DANCE ON BY, a full sister to Epsom Derby winner High Chapparal and numerous other winners, who could do with a victory to enhance her paddock value. Beaten five lengths when runner-up to Carraiglawn at Navan last month, she was double that distance behind that winner in a Curragh Listed race subsequently but should still prove too strong for these rivals. Paloma Blanca has looked as though a longer trip than this would suit on both starts to date and it may well be Dermot Weld's newcomer Stroke Of Love, who is out of a Listed winner over a mile, that provides the main opposition.
