None of those with experience in this look anything special so we'll concentrate on a clutch of choicely-bred newcomers. Hepworth is a half-sister to a couple of winners, while Reckoning cost 55,000gns as a yearling and is out of a dam who won over a mile. RED HALO is by Galileo out of a Danehill mare and will also enjoy the trip. Sir Michael Stoute's filly is narrowly preferred to Vena Amoris, who is closely related to winners in the States but may need a little further than this in time.
