FormscanBy Alan Magee - Aidan O’Brien has won this Group 2 seven times in the past decade and Ryan Moore has elected to ride Aesop’s Fable, who has been absent since scoring on debut at Navan back in April. The form of that maiden hasn’t worked out well and there is more to like about stablemate Hans Andersen who made most to beat Al Riffa (won since) and Young Ireland over course and distance last month. However, O’Brien’s son Donnacha may have the answer this time with PROUD AND REGAL The Galileo colt caused a surprise when scoring on debut over course and distance and followed up in the Tyros Stakes at Leopardstown. The form of that Group 3 has been boosted since with runner-up Hellsing going one better in a Listed race and the fourth, Voce Del Palio, winning the valuable Ballyhane Stakes.
