David Barron and Richard Fahey have won this four times between them in recent years. The former runs Bahama Moon, a winner for Andre Fabre in France last year and having only his second start for his new yard. But DAWN MIRAGE won a maiden race over today's trip for David Wachman in Ireland last year and a chance is taken that Richard Fahey's new charge can get involved. Le Chat D'or failed to win last season but is now back on a winning mark and will relish the soft ground while Treasury Notes is only 2lb higher than when scoring at Hamilton in September. Dark Ocean made a winning reappearance at Pontefract last year and is another to consider.
