Several of these are returning from very long breaks including Durandal, placed at Chantilly on his only start in November 2020. His stable is in top form though may have a better chance with Bridesman, beaten a short-head at Wolverhampton for the Gosdens just over a year ago. Fabrizio hasn't run since second at Kempton for Godolphin on November 2020 and has an outside lane to contend with. Bawadi Spirit, Dignity Joy and Sheringham have been racing on Dirt so a chance is taken on the former's stable companion GREEN TEAM STATION, who had just one run for Charlie Hills at Newbury last summer.
