Race preview
Joseph O'Brien looks to have a strong hand here with last year's winner MASTER OF REALITY and Twilight Payment. The former defied odds of 33/1 to win this race, which was ran at Navan, 12 months ago but proved that to be no fluke when posting a number of solid efforts thereafter, including when a length third behind Stradivarius in the Ascot Gold Cup. He has likely been aimed at this race for a while and can get the better of his classy stablemate, who won the Curragh Cup last year, and 2019 Irish Derby scorer Sovereign.
