The betting will be revealing but Sam Curling usually targets this race and his LEOPARD D'IRLANDE looks interesting before any further clues. Blazing Duke has to be respected, while Facile Ocean, who was well backed when showing a bit in a messy race on debut for Thomas Mullins 2 months ago, could fare a lot better this time. Springhill Warrior would be an obvious player if getting a run.
