Race preview
Aidan O'Brien bids to win this for the 12th time, with HAWK MOUNTAIN preferred of his three representatives. The Beresford Stakes at the Curragh has provided plenty of recent winners of this contest and the son of Wootton Bassett made all when returning the impressive winner of that Group 2 at the Curragh. Stablemate Benvenuto Cellini struck at Leopardstown on Irish Champions Weekend and makes more appeal than Action. Champagne Stakes runner-up Oxagon appears likely to be suited by an extra furlong and isn't discounted lightly.
