This has been a tremendous race for favourites with eight of the last ten successful. Regards, a 180,000gns yearling, made a fair start from a wide draw at Wolverhampton and will make progress but the remainder with experience have looked moderate so far. Hercullian Prince hails from a yard that can get one ready while Rain Wind And Fire has a superb pedigree and would have to be of real interest if attracting support. FONDLY is a half-sister to three winners, including the brilliant Canford Cliffs, and will hopefully be ready to make a successful debut.
