The winner of this race last year under a penalty, Order Of Australia (best priced at 6/4) should prove hard to beat this year off level weights. The Aidan O’Brien trained five-year-old won the Breeders’ Cup Mile as a three-year-old before winning this contest last season following a disappointing return in the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Order Of Australia ran a lot better in that contest this year finishing 3rd behind Baaeed and that should put him spot on for this contest for which he is unpenalised this year. He is top rated with a mark of 118 and if he runs up to that level then he should prove hard to beat.

Order Of Australia - 1pt @ 6/4

Jessie Harrington had a great day yesterday with Magical Lagoon winning the Irish Oaks and I am hoping her filly Ha Ha Ha (best priced at 3/1) can continue the good form of her stable. She has run with credit on all four of her career starts this season but now looks really progressive having won her last two starts.

Ha Ha Ha won a maiden at Listowel before making a winning handicap debut off a mark of 81 at Leopardstown last time. She showed a good attitude that day to make all of the running under Shane Foley and she should be able to defy a 7lb rise from the handicapper.

Ha Ha Ha - 1pt @ 3/1
