The benefit of experience can help BLESS HIM to get into his stride a little quicker this evening and he can make this a good test for the rest. Mudaarab is the obvious threat in terms of purchase price ($450,000) and potential on breeding. He certainly looks the favoured option of Sir Michael Stoute's duo; but may not represent great value at the predicted cramped odds. Others for the notebook include: Trenchard, who has fared well in defeat on a couple of occasions and can find a race before too long, while So Happy comes a long way to make his racecourse bow and is noted as one of only two horses sent down from North Yorkshire by Mark Johnson
