Count D'Orsay finished ahead of Mokaatil when runner-up in this last year but is drawn high this time. The former’s stablemates Bossipop and Sunday Sovereign both have form at this venue while Look Out Louis and Night On Earth filled the places at Newmarket last time. The front-running Militia may well set the pace from his inside draw but a chance is taken on ALLIGATOR ALLEY. A useful two-year-old in Ireland, he missed the whole of last year but made a promising debut for David O’Meara at Wolverhampton having been gelded. He may also improve for this second start after wind surgery and can figure in the finish.
