Aidan O'Brien's new jockey strategy comes into play here with Ryan Moore given the ride on Raphael Santi, who looked all at sea in the heavy ground at the Curragh last week. He'll certainly improve for that run but Jim Bolger has dominated this event in recent years and will want to get Teofilio off to a good start to his stallion career with PARISH HALL, who gets the vote. Shukhov is related to some speedy performers and can go well under Johnny Murtagh but a bigger threat may emerge in the shape of the Dansili colt Requinto, who is out of the Queen Mary Stakes winner Damson.
