With last year’s winner My Dream Boat (goes well fresh) and fair few improving types in this it looks a good renewal especially with the Stoute and Gosden yards represented that have done so well in this race in the past. Those two yards run Ulysses and ROYAL ARTILLERY with both expected to improve and go on this year although at the moment the latter is just favoured over this trip. Throw Deauville into the mix from another top-class yard and you have the makings of a very good Group 3.
