Charlie Appleby landed this race 12 months ago and looks to hold a strong hand again, chief amongst his representatives possibly TABARETTA. He's related to a couple who were precocious as juveniles and it would come as no surprise to see him go well. Dasho Lennie, who holds a Group 2 entry, and the selection's stablemate City of KIngs are others to consider, along with Inverinate.
