VERDICT: A cracking Listed race. It is worth noting that Hannibal Barca was beaten less than two lengths into fourth by Luxembourg in a Group 1 at Doncaster during his juvenile campaign. He made a winning start to this season by staying on well to win the Group 3 Gallinule Stakes over a similar trip in the Curragh. That earned him a shot at the Irish Derby, but he made no impression in seventh. He's certainly of interest over this trip on Polytrack debut. Aikhal is the highest rated on a mark of 111. He was very strong when winning a Group 3 over this trip at the Curragh in June. He hasn't been as effective over further in a couple of Group 2 contests since then, but is dangerous back at 1m2f in this company. Cairde Go Deo has plenty of ability as evidenced by a third place in this season's Irish Oaks. She is an interesting contender dropping back in trip and has bottom-weight. British-raider State Occasion has shot up from a mark of 89 to 104 after winning her last two races. In addition, she has won at two all-weather tracks in Britain. She is not one to be underestimated.
