Order Of St George leads the way as just five runners go to post for the Seamus & Rosemary McGrath Memorial Saval Beg Stakes at Leopardstown on Friday.
Aidan O'Brien 's charge won the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot last year, claiming this Listed heat along the way, and will be having his second outing this term after finishing second in the Vintage Crop Stakes at Navan last month.
The Jim Bolger-trained Twilight Payment was third in that Group Three race and takes his chance again, while Joseph O'Brien runs Motherland who won two of his three starts last year and returned with a second at Tipperary. Stars Over The Sea failed to hit the mark in two hurdles outings for Henry de Bromhead but returns to the Flat.
Pat Shanahan's Musselburgh winner Carbon Dating completes the field.
