Olly Murphy saddles three of the seven entries including the four-year-old Auditoria, who made the favourite Raffles Gitane pull out all the stops in a maiden against her age group at Hereford in February under Fergus Gregory. The jockey is on board Fabrique En France this time BUT the Wincanton maiden winner suffered an injury when pulled up at Kelso next time. Aidan Coleman rode him on both occasions and is now on NO RISK DES FLOS, as he has been for both of the grey's recent victories including on good ground at Southwell last month. He looks the one to beat despite having to concede weight all round. Lingfield bumper winner City Derby was well beaten in similar company at Newbury but Coolkill produced a much improved effort at Newcastle.
