Aidan O'Brien has a strong hand here with LONDON and Schubert. The former looked like winning when storming to the front over this trip at Cork only to be caught on the post and tonight's surface can enable him to hang on. Schubert ha started favourite in seven of his ten starts and been well supported in the others. He's run well here in the past and looks a live threat to his stable companion as does Kitten Loves Roses. Dermot Weld's charge has had only one run this campaign but should be winning soon judged on his close second behind Madroos at Gowran in June. Tessonna hasn't run since August of last year where she started odds-on over 5f here but she's one to keep an eye on along with Duchess Of France, who has been going well in strong maidens on Turf.
