Something of a lottery to kick off proceedings. The mares Dundraw Dash and Keith's Girl make some appeal on breeding but we’ll concentrate on the four-year-olds. Richard Johnson partners the Flat-bred Black Panther for Martin Keighley and he’s likely to have more pace on this surface than the majority of these, though Richard Fahey’s Eternal Romantic is another who shouldn’t be short of speed being by Nathaniel. KONIGSBERG is by Dansili and a brother to two winners on the Flat. There is also stamina in his pedigree and he’s travelled up from south Wales for this.
