Aidan O’Brien has an exceptional record in this having claimed the last four renewals and he looks to hold all the aces once more. By Sea The Stars out of the star Classic-winning mare Alpha Centauri, ALPHA (1) is the pick of Ryan Moore and can strike second time out following a highly promising debut runner-up effort over 7f at Leopardstown. Stablemate IBELIEVEICANFLY (7) shaped nicely when fourth in the same maiden and should have plenty more to offer. She rates a major threat once more as does the yard’s beautifully bred EXCEPTIONALLY (5). Away from the Aidan O’Brien trio, LIVENKA (10) could have a say for Ger Lyon’s having produced a nice effort on debut when third behind subsequent G2 Queen Mary Stakes winner Victorious at Naas.
