Trainer Aidan O'Brien trains HAWK MOUNTAIN (3) and BENVENUTO CELLINI (2). The former looked comfortable on soft ground when a commanding winner of the G1 Beresford Stakes four weeks ago and may come out on top while the latter impressed landing the G2 Golden Fleece Stakes at Leopardstown by 5L in September and this well-bred son of Frankel holds obvious claims under a top rider to warrant plenty of thought. Remaining unbeaten in two outings to date ITEM (4) has been impressive and is expected to provide another bold showing. OXAGON (5) was fifth in the G1 Dewhurst Stakes and won't be far away.
