COEUR DE LION only found one too good in this race last year and the recent rain that's arrived looks sure to benefit him more than most. It would be no surprise to see Faithful Mount hit the frame with conditions also in his favour and he looks the pick of the Williams' runners. Drakensberg is worth noting for a yard that do well with their handicappers in the staying division.
