Flowerhill Nova has already run 11 times with four of those races coming on this surface. He's only managed one place so far here and that was over a shorter trip. CENOTAPH would not have been kept in training unless it was thought he could win a race or two. Second to the very smart Endless Drama over this trip back in 2014, an absence is rarely a concern for one from Ballydoyle and he should be too good for these. The Iffraj filly L'ambre Gris could be worth monitoring for any market support as she has a decent pedigree.
