Aidan O'Brien arrives with a typically strong hand in this event and that's no surprise when considering his recent record in the race and he bids for his fifth win from the last six renewals. It may be worth taking a chance on the second-string FIRE FLY given how much the trainer's runners come on from debut and the filly has an impeccable pedigree. Stablemate So Perfect sets a solid standard on form after her effort in Group 2 class last time. Lethal Promise arrives with more experience than most and she was impressive in maiden company last time out.
