Plenty can be given a chance in this but ROBIN OF NAVAN usually plies his trade in France and drops down in class today. He won a Group 3 at Chantilly earlier and has finished ahead of First Sitting on a couple of occasions this year. Fabricate landed a Group 3 at Windsor in August when beating Spark Plug while Air Pilot has been keeping good company and won a Group 3 contest in Ireland earlier in the season. Sovereign Debt is penalised for an earlier Group 2 success but Muffri'Ha won last year’s renewal and the three-year-olds Monarchs Glen and Forest Ranger are not out of this either.
