A race that usually produces plenty of winners and last year was no different with the first six home all scoring later in the season. Saeed Bin Suroor trained last year's winner and Winter House can include a Group 2 winner among his relatives while Markstein also represents Godolphin and is preferred to stablemate Fallen For A Star. Quantative and Exosphere share the same ownership while Paul Hanagan prefers Mustaaqeem to Almohtaseb. Bermondsey and Prescience are others to note but the latter's stable companion BARREESH cost 300,000 euros and may be the one to side with - though it will probably prove more profitable to follow those that run well rather than get involved today.
