Plenty arrive with claims including Irish-raider TAKE HEART. Successful from a 3 lb lower mark at Goodwood last summer, he's not been disgraced by any means on either start so far this spring and, with the forecast quicker ground here holding no fears, he's expected to make a bold bid. Warda Jamila, for the stable/jockey combination who took this prize 12 months ago, and dual C&D scorer Grey Cuban are others fancied to be in the thick of things.
