The gallant EL ASTRONAUTE for the John Quinn yard can land his third win in Ireland in five months by landing the spoils in this Group 3 event. The six-year-old landed the Listed Straight Midsummer Sprint Stakes at Cork and the Rockingham handicap over 5f in June before finishing second of nine in the Group 2 Sapphire Stakes a month later at the Curragh. Winner of this contest 12 months ago Hit The Bid and the James Tate-trained Dream Shot who ran Group 2 winner A'Ali to 1L at Doncaster last month can give good accounts of themselves.
