Dundalk

Aidan O'Brien has won the last four renewals of this race and he is triple-handed here. His debutants Magna Cum Laude and Aachen have to be respected, as does the Donnacha O'Brien trained Verona Basilica, but preference is for ILE DE FRANCE who shaped like this sort of trip might suit when running a pleasing race over 6f on debut at Naas. Andy Slattery's nicely bred newcomer Epic Arch is another to consider, especially if the market speaks. [Dave Stephens]
