Tote.ie Alleged Stakes (Group 3)

Last year's Irish Derby winner subsequently won Great Voltigeur and high-class form when close fourth in Irish Champion Stakes at this trip and second in l'Arc de Triomphe; race possibly came too soon when well below best fortnight later back at 1m2f in Champion Stakes; same ownership as Jan Brueghel and probably the better equipped of the pair at this trip but Moore deserts him.

Unbeaten in four starts last season, twice over C&D; won Group 2 Gordon Stakes at Goodwood; found the required stamina reserves to see off stablemate Illinois in 1m6f St Leger at Doncaster in September on good; staying campaign likely this season but begins at this shorter trip and Ryan Moore rides.

Well-travelled last year, recording big-money wins from off the pace at Riyadh (1m7f) and Meydan (2m) earlier in the year and returned in mid-summer to win Group 2 Curragh Cup over 1m6f (good); likely to be most inconvenienced of the Ballydoyle trio dropped in trip.

Never stopped improving last year as a 6yo, winning all four starts; twice in handicaps here and when upped to 1m4f, landing Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes at Ascot and Group 3 Ballyroan Stakes at Leopardstown in ready fashion; subsequent Melbourne Cup bid never materialised and intriguing runner here on favoured ground with the likely true test in his favour.

Group 2 Beresford Stakes winner here in 2022 for Michael O'Callaghan; exposed in good company last season over middle distances however and plenty to find on seasonal return.
