Although VELVET VULCAN has gone close to winning a pair of 20.5f course handicaps this year his keen-going ways suggest this shorter trip could suit even better. The Coffey Boy edged out the selection over that longer distance last month and is second choice ahead of Platin Moon, whose stable is bidding for a hat-trick of wins in this race.
