One favourite has won this in ten years and Richard Fahey has won two of the last four. Heaven's Guest and Rene Mathis represent the yard this time with preference just for the former, a Listed winner at Naas last month before failing to get a clear run at York a couple of weeks later. AYAAR beat a big field in the Spring Cup at Newbury and looked like winning the Royal Hunt Cup until fading close home. He should have no problems dropping down in trip and will be difficult to beat. Chil The Kite has to be a major threat after his superb run in the latter event where he may have won if getting a clear run at a crucial stage while Jallota arrives in top form having carried a big weight to victory over this trip at York though runner-up One Word More is a real specialist at this trip and can also get involved.
