It's entirely possible that Ryan Moore can dictate the pace on Convey from start to finish here and he may just get an easy time on the front end. That could be to the detriment of last year's winner Grendisar, who gets the services of Silvestre De Sousa for the first time. He will need a strong pace to aim but he can pick up the pieces if Moore gets the fractions wrong. Absolute Blast may still have a little improvement in her and wouldn't have to find a great deal to turn around the form with the selection from their Lingfield run.
