Existent had several runs under his belt before going close in this last season with Twilight Calls back in fifth. The latter hasn’t raced since finishing runner-up in the King’s Stand at Ascot in June and MANACCAN showed good progress last term, ending the year with a victory in Group 3 company at Dundalk. Further improvement is expected as a four-year-old and Frankie’s presence suggests a big run is expected. Tis Marvellous and Arecibo were both beaten in last year’s renewal and the latter has found Live In The Dream too good on a couple of occasions recently but Equality goes well fresh and is preferred to Raasel and Vadream on his reappearance.
