Although Mike Smith won't be riding due to visa issues, whoever gets the leg-up on RED SOCKS here should have a leading chance as Gay Kelleway's charge has already been placed twice on Polytrack. Courtland King will give him something to think about dropping back to the minimum trip, while any strong support for Maltease AH on his debut should be noted. Fellow newcomer Calendar King may need further to show his best.
