The is not much between these on the official figures for the race and Muskatsturm only heads the shortlist on the grounds of the likelihood of a decent price. He showed a good level of form in Germany before joining his current yard and is still only lightly raced. He hails from a yard that is notoriously shrewd in the placement of their horses and he can land another touch for them if he is supported today. Dancing Phantom should like the ground and has claims on the pick of his form, but as he is making his debut for his current yard today, Kylkenny is just preferred as a bigger threat. He boosted his chance after a promising reappearance at Kempton last month and has to be considered. It could also pay to factor in a little support for It¿s The Limit, but he is not one to go overboard about after 233 days off the track.
