Bad News Bear will need to improve on his seventh at Fairyhouse to figure but finished ahead of both Spiesdontalk and Si Seulement. Kodiac's Back never threatened on his latest start over 7f here so one of the newcomers may well prove good enough. Youm Momayez comes from the family of St Leger winner Mastery and may do better over middle-distances but STAY DE NIGHT is a half-brother to four winners so it's Dermot Weld's charge that gets the vote.
