FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - We haven’t seen LAYFAYETTE since March, but he’s gone well fresh in the past and he seems set to put in another strong performance. The son of French Navy had a big day over this track and trip in the spring, when taking the Lincoln. He’s up six pounds and with cheek-pieces unsurprisingly retained, and Chris Hayes in the plate again, Layfayette can show his prowess in testing terrain on yet another occasion. Dangers are plentiful with Joseph O’Brien fielding no less than three, Fame And Acclaim, Rocket Science and Visualisation. O’Brien’s father Aidan has a contender in Horoscope, whilst Jessica Harrington’s two, Bopedro and Pepperoni Pete, need to be taken into account as well.
