RELENTLESS VOYAGER will attract plenty of support despite returning from an absence. The early Derby entry will appreciate this extra distance having gone close behind subsequent handicap winner Bold Act, now rated 101, here in September. Valegro placed in France last summer and debuts for new connections while Majestic Jameela and Divination posted better efforts over today’s trip more recently and are preferred to Deadlock. A Poet's Secret is a newcomer to note.
