Kimberella won last year’s renewal when beating Gracious John but just missed out when runner-up to Kachy here last month. The latter also beat Intisaab, Double Up and Gulliver on that occasion and Tom Dascombe’s charge should make another bold bid. Atletico will likely figure again but has notched-up a a frustrating string of seconds while the French raider City Light is not out of this having won on the all-weather at Chantilly recently when beating the highly regarded favourite Rosa Imperial. GIFTED MASTER (NAP) has gone well fresh before and won a tough Listed sprint over track and trip when last in action in November. Hugo Palmer’s charge hasn’t stopped improving yet and can go in again.
