This will take little winning and it would come as no surprise if Haymarket could add to last year's haul. On this occasion the concession of 8lb to the in-form GONE WITH THE WIND may prove too much. The selection comes form a yard having a good week and his style of running is suited to how this race will be run. New Abbey Angel is a frustrating sort who is hard to win with, but could achieve yet another podium finish.
