A number arrive with claims including low-mileage GOLDEN PAL, who quickly dispelled a blip in the Nunthorpe when landing a Keeneland Grade 2 in October, quickening clear when tackled. He gets the nod to come out on top operating from his draw in 3. Kevin Ryan holds a strong hand, with Emaraaty Ana and last year's heroine Glass Slippers both highly respected. Lieutenant Dan completes the shortlist.
