He's fit and well and, hopefully, ready to run a good race, with top-weight SANUS PER AQUAM the horse to beat on his old form.

His previous second to Mrs King at Tipperary, and his fourth to Sanus Per Aquam on Derby weekend last year, however, are good efforts.

Sanus Per Aquam (20-1) ran a blinder in third but the well-backed Emotionless (7-4) failed to justify his lofty reputation when trailing home last of the seven runners.

There is a second Irish raider in the shape of last month's Group 3 Somerville Tattersall Stakes winner Sanus Per Aquam , while the field is completed by the Somerville Tattersall third Adventurous, and Twin Sails.

The son of Galileo is unbeaten after two starts and looked an almighty prospect for connections when beating subsequent Group 3 winner Sanus Per Aquam in the Tyros Stakes at Leopardstown.
