ITALIAN LOVER showed early pace before fading at Salisbury last time. He represents last year’s winning yard and may prove good enough with improvement possible. One of the newcomers will likely provide the biggest threat and Hiya Hiya is related to several winners while Ice'o'Lation is a half-brother to stablemate Company Minx, who won on the all-weather earlier this month. Eurythmical and Skyblue Expert are others to note.
