Having won no less than nine of the last eleven runnings of this maiden race, it's difficult to get away from Aidan O'Brien's runners. He has four representatives here and the wisest move could be to stick with Johnny Murtagh's choice of PIRATE CHEST. Beaten only a whisker at Gowran Park in September, he ran flat when failing to land the odds on his latest start but is taken to make amends here. His Excellency and Tiz The Shot could prove best of the others with experience, with Notable Graduate worth keeping an eye on in the betting on his debut.
