Taras Emperor is a proven mud lark and although she is probably better over 5f, she is taken to go well on her favoured surface tonight but the low draw is a major concern. Similar comments apply to Gdansk, who will have to overcome a three draw. Rudik comes from a stable in form and cannot be dismissed easily. He won on a softer surface when with Sir Michael Stoute, and any stable confidence would be worth noting. Tom Tun and Soba Jones are among those with the favoured draws.
