In the purebred Arabian contest, he and Molahen El Alhan should make a bold bid to concede weight to eight rivals which are headed by his stable companions Namrood and RB Dixie Burning.
All three are trained by Eric Lemartinel for Sheikh Khalifa and, seeking a seventh course and distance victory, Molahen El Alhan looks sure to at least go close.
O’Shea said: “These conditions really suit him and he won comfortably last time. This is a stronger race but he should be thereabouts.”
RB Dixie Burning is actually unbeaten but the mount of Gerald Avranche has not raced since March 2014 when making it three wins from as many starts, including over course and distance on this card that same year.
