FormscanBy Michael Graham - This race has been dominated by Aidan O'Brien in recent times as he has taken the last three renewals. He saddles two of the four runners - Landofhopeandglory and SWORD FIGHTER. The latter merits plenty of respect. He looked a horse to follow when cruising in at Sligo by 14 lengths and his potential was certainly realised in Royal Ascot when he won the Listed Queen's Vase at 33/1. Provided that didn't take too much out of him, he looks to be the one. All of the runners have been seen in the last two weeks so it could come down to who is the freshest. Alveena is a very likeable filly. In her last six outings she has bagged three wins and three runner-up finishes. After being pipped by a short head over a mile and a half here, she improved and took the Cork Derby by a couple of lengths. This is a step up in trip but she is on an upward curve. Landofhopeandglory was only a length and three parts behind Sword Fighter at Royal Ascot so isn't out of it. Cymro is the highest rated but has to give plenty of weight away. Rain would make it easier for him.
