A big field for this Listed prize. Ireland won it last year and Jessica Harrington runs the tough Naas nursery winner For The Trees. Aidan O’Brien has entered Curragh maiden winner Precious Moments but she is also a bit exposed. DIVINE SPIRIT has run five times but has been highly tried since making a winning debut at Windsor. She has placed twice at Chantilly in decent company since running in the Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes on the July course here and is due a second career victory. Flaming Princess is almost guaranteed to run her race again, despite a penalty, while Mild Illusion was only beaten a short-head in na valuable sales race here last month. Lady Light, Brookside Banner, Magical Journey and Minhaaj are all likely improvers.
