Jessica Harrington and Aidan O'Brien have both won this twice in the past five years. The former runs Heliogabalus, who has been gelded since a disappointing favourite at Roscommon in May. Ballydoyle have two entries and Chemistry is a son of Kingman and a half-brother to three useful winners while Gallantly, a Frankel colt out of a French 1,000 Guineas winner, started odds-on over 7f here last month but finished seventh of nine. CHICAGO CRITIC ran very well to finish third in the latter event and normal progress will see him difficult to beat. Ger Lyons also has two entries and both Best Law, the mount of Colin Keane, and Fine Print are certain to improve for their debuts.
