Rich Harry is the most exposed but drops back down in trip in first-time headgear after placing over a mile. Champagne Prince is the first foal of a Group 3 winner but FUN LOVING has Coolmore connections having cost 350,000gns as a half-sister to a couple of winners and she gets the speculative vote. Groovy Baby is a sister to a winner and is preferred to Unforgettable Fire of the rest.
