A mouthwatering clash between ECONOMICS (8) and CALANDAGAN (7). The former hasn't looked back since his 6L triumph in the G2 Dante Stakes during May winning the G2 Prix Guillaume D'Ornano on reappearance before landing the G1 Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown. Potentially more to offer. Narrowly preferred while the latter mentioned revisits where he delivered his wide-margin victory in the G2 King Edward VII Stakes and holds major form claims after only finding one too strong in the G1 Juddmonte International Stakes at York in August. Aidan O'Brien trains G1 Irish Derby winner LOS ANGELES (10) who cannot be ignored after finishing third in the G1 Prix De L'Arc De Triomphe. Narrow G2 Prix Foy winning IRESINE (3) warrants respect.
