An excellent prize has attracted a cracking line-up. Marie's Diamond is top of those with an official rating having included a Curragh Group 3 among his three victories last season. He may have found the going too soft on his reappearance in France so should do better. Insandi, runner-up in a Longchamp Group 3 in September, was then sold for E470,000 so better must be expected. Daarik won here in November and at Kempton last month and deserves a crack at this level as does MAGIC J, a $950,000 son of Scat Daddy who had no problems making a successful debut at Yarmouth and has entries in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket and the Curragh. Dark Jedi made a successful debut in August so the lack of a run won't be a problem while the likes of Bayroot and Ebury have plenty of potential in an interesting contest.
