The UK have won this a few times and the Crisford's send over dual Polytrack winner Sea The Casper. Carracci represents Ballydoyle and he's been racing in strong handicaps all season after winning here last November. Bold Discovery won a Listed race at the Curragh and has performed at Group level in subsequent starts though has never run on the all-weather. PIZ BADILE also makes his all-weather debut but last year's Irish Derby runner-up would have the beating of these on his best form. He had no answer to Luxembourg and Bay Bridge in the Tattersalls Gold Cup but had better horses than these behind. Villanova Queen, another running here for the first time, has performed with credit in Group company since landing a fillies' handicap at Royal Ascot.
