Pool Value: £21.75

This is a fascinating clash between two horses with Group 1-winning form at this venue. White Birch won three races in a row, including this one, in the opening months of last season. However, he had setbacks after beating Auguste Rodin over a little further than this in the Tattersalls Gold Cup. Against that background, he may not cope with last year's Irish Derby winner LOS ANGELES, whose fourth in the Irish Champion Stakes represents top-class form at this trip. He was ready to run here over three weeks ago in the race won by Galen, so should not lack for fitness. [Alan Sweetman]

No.	Selection	Form		Guide	ToteWin	TotePlace
1 (2)	Galen D McMonagle / J P O'Brien	4yrs / 9st 5lb 8-4651 Spotlight	124	7/1	4.00	1.02
Galen Both wins last year came at 1m; fair form in 1m1f Meydan races in the opening months of the year; stepped up considerably on previous Pattern-race efforts when making all to defeat Ballydoyle's Jan Brueghel in a Group 3 event over C&D last month; needs to perform a bigger giant-killing act now.
2 (4)	Los Angeles R L Moore / A P O'Brien	4yrs / 9st 5lb 11439- Spotlight	130	5/4	4.30
Los Angeles Last year's Derby third and Irish Derby winner, beat stablemate Illinois in the Great Voltigeur; top-class form at this trip when close up fourth in Irish Champion Stakes before fine third in the Arc; race possibly came too soon when flopped 13 days later back at 1m2f in Champion Stakes; reported off feed when missing intended return in race won by Galen; should be fit enough.
3 (3)	Sons And Lovers C D Hayes / J P O'Brien	4yrs / 9st 5lb 3284-3 Spotlight	113	66/1
Sons And Lovers Long-priced winner on only juvenile start; several good runs in defeat last season for Jane Chapple-Hyam, notably at this trip in Listed company at Newbury and Deauville; on final start soft ground probably not ideal at Newmarket; gelded over the winter; made a solid start for Joseph O'Brien when third behind Galen over C&D; well held.
4 (1)	Sunchart A J Slattery / A Slattery	8yrs / 9st 5lb 1687-1 Spotlight	117	50/1
Sunchart Started the season as customary in a Listed race at Naas; confirmed his liking for the venue and soft ground with an emphatic win, so that his form figures for the event are now 2211; aiming high here and the going will not be ideal.
5 (5)	Trustyourinstinct D P McDonogh / J P O'Brien	5yrs / 9st 5lb 212-83 Spotlight	121	14/1	3.40	1.30
Trustyourinstinct Won a 1m4f Group 3 on good ground at Leopardstown last season; also boasts smart form in Group 3 races over C&D, beaten only a neck by the odds-on Jan Brueghel in the International Stakes in July and half a length off the odds-on Continuous in the Royal Whip in August; third to Sunchart at Naas in March; may reverse the form on better ground.
6 (6)	White Birch C T Keane / J J Murphy	5yrs / 9st 5lb 4/111- Spotlight	134	6/5	2.00
White Birch Excellent third behind Auguste Rodin in 2023 Derby after Leopardstown Group 3 win and second in the Dante; in rear in the Irish Derby and not at best at Leopardstown on final start at three; began last season with Group 3 C&D wins in the Alleged Stakes and this race before mastering August Rodin readily in the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup; training issues kept him off after.
