Ryan Moore takes over the reins on KREB’S CYCLE as the latter attempts to shrug off a 3lb penalty for winning at Bath. He may well do so given he has little to fear from Poet's Society on the evidence of the latter’s poor debut effort and the remainder are all newcomers. Sword Exceed is a half-brother to three winners, including a Group 3 winner in Germany, and makes more appeal than Reign On and $250,000 purchase Tibr.
