Dandy Nicholls has a strong hand represented by the progressive Stewards’ Cup runner-up Orion's Bow and last year’s second in this, Kimberella. The latter was behind his stablemate at Goodwood but is drawn high today along with Related, Intisaab and Louis The Pious having beaten the latter trio at York last month. SON OF AFRICA is also on that side of the draw and, having slipped 6lb down the weights this year, we may see the best of Henry Candy’s charge today. Richard Fahey runs three with Nuno Tristan preferred to Alben Star and last year’s third Tatlisu. The latter is drawn low along with Toofi, Mythmaker and last month’s Curragh winner Perfect Pasture as well as recent course and distance winner Snap Shots. Godolphin’s Baccarat won this back in 2013 for Richard Fahey and Nameitwhatyoulike was narrowly beaten in the consolation race for this last year
