Very few that you can totally write off here and course specialist Alizee De Janeiro has to have a decent chance of adding to her already stellar course record after her battling win here last time. Budarri appears to have enjoyed the change of tactics but he’ll have to pull out extra to score with Diamond Rock an interesting debutante for the Thomson yard despite his rather uninspiring form figures. HALCYON DAYS has defied the handicapper on a few occasions now and this may well be another with this race looking to be run at a pace that will suit him and his run style.
