Renneti was odds-on when beating just three rivals in this last year and hasn't won since. His close second in the Queen Alexandra at Ascot was his best subsequent effort and he may prefer further than this nowadays. Twilight Payment beat a strong field to win this in 2016 when it was run as a Listed contest at the Curragh. He's only won once subsequently but is regularly placed at this level and higher and will take some beating. However, it was difficult not to be impressed by FALCON EIGHT at Killarney and, with a superb pedigree, he can take this step up in grade and trip in his stride. Cypress Creek looks best of the Ballydoyle trio though he has a bit to find with Twilight Payment on Irish St Leger form.
