Joseph O'Brien won this last year and has two entries. MOONEISTA has joined the yard from Jack Davison and was conceding Ladies Church 4lb when beaten a short-head in the Group 2 Sapphire Stakes at the Curragh. He hasn't won for almost two years so race conditions are in his favour here. Robert Cowell sends Arecibo from the UK but he's been beaten in a couple of handicaps recently and Adrian Nicholls' Yorkshire raider Tees Spirit may be more interesting as he won a Listed race at Tipperary in August. Moss Tucker has won two Listed contests in his last three starts, the latest here last month, but has a penalty to carry as a result.
