Denis Hogan has a strong hand here, having taken over CAESAR'S COMET from Peter Fahey, and the 4-y-o gelding looks an improved performer this year, so should go well. Stablemate Gopsies Daughter was a close fifth in a huge field here last time, and is arguably better at this trip, so looks one to be interested in as well, with Polly Douglas also considered from her reduced mark.
