GUNSIGHT RIDGE looked as good as ever last season and might well have made a winning reappearance at this meeting 12 months ago had he not departed at the last, so gets the vote tackling a veterans event for the first time. Fugitif has a good record here and is another who will appreciate the drop in class, while Eldorado Allen runs well fresh and is on a career-low mark.
