Aidan O'Brien has claimed this seven times since 2006 and he looks to be hold a strong hand once again. NELSON fended off stablemates Delano Roosevelt and The Pentagon (in that order) over C&D to win the Ballysax Stakes last month. The improved ground may help the third home to get much closer but the selection has very few faults and won't mind the surface himself. He is hard to get away from. The King was impressive at Gowran Park when last spotted and should have progress in him as a three-year-old while Hazapour could sneak into the money if any of the Ballydoyle trio fail to fire.
