Joseph O'Brien has three engaged here. Bolleville has never run here but beat Simsir and Bowerman at Leopardstown on his first start after arriving from France and has competed at a high level subsequently. Crossfirehurricane has been here twice and won both. He landed a Curragh Group 3 from tonight's rival Gold Maze to complete a hat-trick before finding 1m4f in the Irish Derby beyond him, as did the runner-up. The former Andre Fabre-trained Trais Fluors isn't without a chance but Aidan O'Brien has won three of the last four and can continue the sequence with VATICAN CITY (NAP). He couldn't quite get close enough to Safe Voyage in the Group 2 Boomerang Stakes at Leopardstown but has won around here and the extra two-and-a-half furlongs will be more to his liking.
