Only the three runners in a race notable for, hopefully, the return of high-class two-year-old Passion For Gold. His participation depends on the ground as he won a Group 1 event at Saint-Cloud on heavy going when last seen in 2009 and the fact he's been kept in training suggests he retains plenty of ability. If he's a no-show then SRI PUTRA should have no trouble in landing this. He won the Group 3 Earl Of Sefton on his reappearance last year and has plenty in hand with Jet Away, who should hold his own in pattern company this season but faces a tough task here.
