The filly Seeking Luck was a very impressive winner on her debut over the C&D beating the consistent though moderate Nurpur with something in hand. She'll improve and has to be a threat though both her stablemate Washboard Sam and Nandinga have winning form on Turf and should also be capable of better. Dermot Weld has his horses in tremendous form so Lucky Kitten is one to keep an eye on and Dabadiyan has a superb pedigree so could be anything. Aidan O'Brien has won the last two of these and is double-handed this time. Both Agreement and SIR WALTER SCOTT are by Galileo with the former being a half-brother to the USA Grade 1 winner Toccet and the latter, who is handed the vote, being closely related to the Irish Derby winner Frozen Fire, a winner over 7f as a juvenile.
