The former Joseph O'Brien-trained Wooster could make the running here in the early stages of this contest on stable debut and could have a few of these in trouble some way out. The improving French import DHAFEERA could take some beating here on his course reappearance on second start for the yard. Pivitol Connection and Curly Girl can battle for minor honours.
