Some of the jockeys are likely to be more weary than their mounts at the finish and it's hard to know what to make of a race in which the likes of George Duffield, Luke Harvey and Nicky Connorton return to race riding after many years out of the saddle but Tom O'Ryan keeps active on the gallops and will ensure Muftarres gets a good ride. USA legend Julie Krone won this a year ago and Richard Fahey will be delighted to have her on board Sunnyside Tom, though her mount hasn't won for a year. Mick Kinane will no doubt get a tune out of Patriotic but this could just be the type of race for SAVE THE BEES, a consistent but mainly luckless type who has the assistance of former champion Kevin Darley.
