Order Of St George (2/5), Dartmouth (5/1), Wicklow Brave (11/1), Torcedor (14/1), Mount Moriah (14/1), Western Hymn (14/1), Twilight Payment (20/1), Lord Yeats (28/1), The Tartan Spartan (66/1), Benkei (66/1)

ORDER OF ST GEORGE can register his second victory in this Group 1 contest and in doing so make amends for his shock defeat in the 2016 renewal of this race. The 2015 victor holds a number of his rivals on recent running and is taken to get the better of Dartmouth who developed into a classy 1m4f performer last year and proved his stamina over this trip when winning a Group 2 contest in the spring. Of the remainder Western Hymn is trying this trip for the first time but shapes as if it will suit and he can claim third today.
