Last year’s renewal was won by A Wave Of The Sea who pounced late to secure victory in a dramatic race that saw Aspire Tower fall at the final flight.

The Joseph O’Brien trained and JP McManus owned went on to win by a length and a quarter under Barry Geraghty.

Run over 2miles and with a prize fund of €120,000, the race traditionally attracts a strong bunch of Ireland’s leading juveniles.
