FormscanBy Tom Weekes - ANCIENT SPIRIT is a well travelled individual and can continue his excellent recent form and complete a hat-trick for Jessica Harrington. An entire, he has previously raced in Germany, France, Italy, Australia and in recent times in Ireland and comes here proven at this trip and on most ground conditions and holds Trais Flous by 1.5L on a previous meeting at the Curragh in June. Trais Flous, a E370,000 purchase last October, finished seventh at the Breeders Cup last November before filling seventh of eight in Saudi Arabia in February. He is a smart performer and should be able to give the selection another race today. Seven year old Zabeel Prince is the star performer of the field being a Group 1 winner of the Prix d'Ispahan at Longchamp in May 2019. He failed to figure in the King George, Eclipse and Sussex Stakes subsequently and while there is certainly no disgrace in those defeats, he comes here following a 346 days absence today against in-form race-fit rivals which might count against him. Patrick Sarsfield in interesting in that the handicapper has now caught up with him (he started 6/5f and 5/4f on both handicap wins) and he now tries Stakes company for the first time. He clearly has more on his plate than when winning from a big weight at Navan recently and while he has plenty to prove at this grade, is nonetheless capable of a good showing.
