Order Of St George, last year's Gold Cup winners, begins his quest to retain the crown in the Coolmore Vintage Crop Stakes, the race named after the history making Melbourne Cup winner.

He will bid to emulate his Ballydoyle stable's other two-time winners Yeats and Fame And Glory and give today's jockey Seamie Heffernan his fourth.

Order Of St George, who was also third in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe last season, will meet the 2015 winner of the race Forgotten Rules for the Group 3 prize on a Navan card which also features two Listed prizes.
