Two of the last three winners have represented Aidan O’Brien and KYPRIOS may prove good enough this time. He made a winning debut in heavy going at Galway last month and this longer trip will suit the full-brother to last month’s Irish St Leger winner Search For A Song. Roseabad made a winning start on fast ground at Bath and is preferred to Babindi and Mere Green while the remainder have all won handicaps. Doncaster winner Lone Eagle scored in soft going earlier and is taken to reverse Sandown running with Recovery Run while Fabilis is weighted to beat Mystery Angel on these terms.
