Graham Lee has ridden both SUSIE JAVA and Lucky Violet and might well rue the circumstances which see him team up with the latter. Susie Java might still be a maiden but she's been a lot more consistent than the majority of the opposition she faces here and, given that Ben Robinson also knows both horses it would be no surprise to see the riding arrangements work out in the young man's favour. Lucky Violet is suggested as the main danger to the selection, while Eldelbar and Be Bold are others to make room for on the shortlist. Joyful Star is a further contender of note at this level.
